Blood Red Sky

6.8% alcohol.

"Blood Red Sky sets a scene. Warm Caribbean sand, flickering candles, cold beer and anticipation of the night to come. From this place came the inspiration for this brew. Jamaican rum barrels meet Scottish red beer in an explosion of cool, spicy rum notes, vanilla and rich fruit.

We brew Blood Red Sky using our unique barrel into beer method, turning the traditional beer into barrel process on its head without losing any of the wonderful flavours and aromas from the barrel."

Carlo Rossie Rhine

9.5% alcohol. Vinted in California, by E&J Winery.

"With the sweet, crisp taste of green apples, Carlo Rossi Rhine is perfect for summertime but can be enjoyed year-round with barbeque, salads and fresh vegetables.
Did you Know?
Carlo borrowed this style from our friends in Germany. The name comes from the style of wine that was produced along the Rhine River. A light-bodied and sweeter style, Rhine is often a blend of a number of white grape varieties, each imparting certain crisp distinct characteristics."

HOW IT’S MADE AND HOW LONG IT’S AGED
Aged natural flavorings are added to the base whisky before the
whisky starts aging in a process known as “blending at birth.” This
process allows the flavors to marry with the spirit and take full
advantage of aging in wood. This ultimately results in a smooth texture
in the finished product.
The process begins by creating natural flavorings called “rye hi-wines”
and “corn hi-wines.” Fermented rye mash is distilled through a special
process to create rye hi-wine. Corn hi-wines are also distilled from a
fermented corn mash and aged in once-used bourbon barrels. These
barrel-aged hi-wines are then mixed with fresh, base-whisky-distillate
grain-neutral spirit and the whisky returns to an oak barrel for a
maturation period of at least three years.
WHAT ARE HI-WINES?
Hi-wines are generally regarded as flavoring whiskies and are taken off
the still between 50% and 70% alc/vol, so they have lots of congeners
(flavor components). Hi-wines are usually distilled to be used in small
amounts, as compared to rye-base whisky, which is usually distilled
between 80% and 95% alc/vol and is a lot smoother.
