Crafted for discerning whiskey enthusiasts, this limited edition highlights two rare small-batch, barrel-proof rye whiskeys that showcase the artistry of Mizunara oak finishing alongside distinctive American and Kentucky influences.
-
Gemini I: An eight-year Indiana 95/5 rye whiskey finished in Mizunara oak, 48-month cured & toasted American oak, and ex-Indiana 51% rye barrels. The result is a layered, complex profile that pays homage to the very first Raconteur Rye batch. 126.6 Proof
-
Gemini II: An eight-year Kentucky 95/5 rye whiskey finished solely in Mizunara oak, offering a richer, darker style reminiscent of Jennings’ acclaimed Miz Kiss release. 120.8 Proof
-
Renegade: 12-year rye finished with uncommon precision in Mizunara oak and an ex-18-year bourbon barrel. Bottled at 59.18% ABV (118.36 proof), it carries mature rye spice, polished oak, honeyed sweetness, vanilla, tobacco, and a subtle lift of exotic wood and warm fruit.
- Decode: Indiana 95/5 Rye finished in Mizunara, aged 12 years, and bottled at a robust 58.4% ABV (116.8 proof). On the nose, fragrant oak spice, root beer, and salted caramel, enriched by toasted nougat, clove, and blood orange. The palate delivers vanilla bean and substantial oak character alongside baked brown sugar, ginger snaps, and peppered honey, with understated savory blackberry notes weaving throughout. The finish commands attention with notes of woody molasses, exotic cola, sassafras, charred oak, dark citrus, and cinnamon warmth that extends with remarkable depth and distinction.
