From Chapel Gate whiskey bonders comes J.J. Corry The Battalion, named after the Battalion San Patricos, a group of Irish soldiers who fought for Mexico in the Mexican-American war. It's made up of 60% grain and 40% malt whiskey, initially aged in bourbon casks. Following that, the grain portion continued its maturation in a combination of tequila and mezcal casks for seven months, while the malt portion continued maturing in just mezcal casks for seven months. It was bottled at 41% ABV, with the first batch yielding just 700 bottles.
Fresh leafy notes, apple skin, lemon curd and a slight oily nutty note.
Tangy pineapple and a hint of ripe pear, walnut and green grassy notes with a touch of vegetal agave.
Oak spice and a sprinkle of sea salt, with a small pinch of dried herbs.
