Yet under careful hands, contrast becomes harmony. The Empyrean Vol. 2 is a straight bourbon whiskey finished in both red port and white port wine casks, each matured along its own path before being brought together with quiet precision.

Together, they linger, balanced, evolving, and impossible to divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCrafted by Dark Arts Whiskey House, the brainchild of Macaulay Minton, formerly of Wilderness Trail's acclaimed single barrel program, this Lexington, Kentucky operation specializes in the art of blending, rebarreling, and finishing whiskey without coloring, flavoring, or chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Arts Whiskey House (Lexington, KY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indiana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished \u0026amp; Bottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 Years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 111.5 (55.75% ABV)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malted Barley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Port \u0026amp; \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eWhite Port Wine Casks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and expressive, opening with orchard blossoms and fresh-cut fruit, giving way to raspberry thumbprint cookies and warm shortbread.
