Oak & Eden recently announced the release of their third small batch creation, The Ale Series.
The Dallas-based indie whiskey producer has teamed with nearby Rahr & Sons Brewery for Rahr Soaked Malted Oak and Rahr Soaked Hopped Oak.
As with all products in the Oak & Eden lineup, these new expressions begin with Oak & Eden’s fully aged whiskey before they are finished with their patented “spire” — a 5″ long spiral cut piece of wood that finishes the whiskey in the bottle, as opposed to a secondary barrel.
The Rahr Soaked Malted Oak consists of Oak & Eden bourbon infused with a heavily toasted American Oak spire soaked in Rahr & Sons Iron Thistle Scottish Ale, while the Rahr Soaked Hopped Oak consists of Oak & Eden rye infused with a lightly toasted American Oak spire soaked in Rahr & Sons Dadgum IPA.
“This has been a collaboration like no other,” says Joe Gillidenzopf, CEO of Oak & Eden, “Most people wouldn’t think beer and whiskey would go hand-in-hand, but the unique combination of sweet, oaky notes coming from our whiskey, mixed with the depth and character of Rahr & Sons beers produce a rich sensation of whiskey on the palate with beer on the finish.”
Oak & Eden’s Ale Series was released last month and is now available in Texas and Oklahoma.
