The pair highlights the blended 16 Scotch's balanced base with finishes that create two very different experiences. Maker's Mark Cask Strength served alongside Whistlepig 10 year . These two whiskeys were influenced by the hand of craft distiller Dave Pickerell. Maker's Step-Brothers Cask Strength is bottled at 113.2° proof and utilizes a combination of red wheat, 18 corn, and malted barley. Whistlepig 10 year is bottled at 100° proof and is 100% Rye. Two very different distileries once led by a legend. This duel proudly presents Crimson's Select Journeyman Last Feather Rye alongside Crimson's Maker's Mark Private Barrel . These high proof whiskeys Crimson's Single Barrels 18 were blended by the Crimson team and produced to be enjoyed in our cocktails as well as on their own. Both are made exclusively for Crimson. The Hebridean Duel highlights two whiskys from the Hebride Archipelago on the Northwestern portions of Scotland. Known as a source of much Scottish Gaelic literature and Gaelic music the region is also home of the Bruichladdich Distillery. Here the purveryers of Bruichladdich create authentic terroir-based spirits in the 18 Hebridean Duel style and with the tools, of distillers of the past.
