"Eclipse" is a Pot Distilled Straight Rye Whisky

• This is a 4 year old Rye Whisky which is older than any Rye 100 release that has currently made it to market
• Bottled at 128 proof or 64% ABV which is much higher in ABV and much more of a robust pour than the core Rye whisky at 100 proof.
• It was affectionately named "Eclipse" because of the use of (2) separate yeasts sharing space in our dual pitched fermentations. This is common practice in the Single Malt space, and a fun way to dig into a classic American Whisky profile. I believe it was distillery manager Tommy Mote who coined most of the storytelling on the back when discussing 'A total eclipse occurs when there is perfect alignment between a viewer's perspective and two distinct astronomical objects.'
• This experiment, if you will, is exclusively available to the UK/EU market and is an exciting release for Balcones to showcase outside of the US market!
