Every Reveries release is a one-off — a single cask given its own name and character, gone for good once the bottles sell through. 'Wanton Weasel' is the project's Indiana rye: a straight rye whiskey aged ten full years and bottled straight from Cask 1173 at its natural 120.3 proof. Ten-year, age-stated, single-cask rye at cask strength is a rare combination at any price, and Indiana — home to some of the most sought-after rye distillate in America — is exactly where you want it from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo official tasting notes have been published for this specific cask, and The Reveries prefers each barrel be judged on its own merits. What a decade in oak and a 120.3-proof bottling promise is intensity: expect the classic Indiana rye profile turned up — bold rye spice, cinnamon and clove, a thread of herbal dill, and dark caramel and seasoned oak underneath from ten years of aging. At barrel strength the flavors arrive concentrated; a few drops of water will stretch them out and let the spice and sweetness trade places. Taste it and draw your own conclusions — that is rather the point of a single cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin with a small neat pour in a tasting glass and give it time — take in the aroma before the first sip, and let the whiskey rest a few minutes to open up. Add a few drops of water to explore how the profile shifts at lower proof, or pour it over a large ice cube for a cooler, slower serve.
