BLENDER'S STORY:
The first Altar and Bloom blend was married together. I then took the blend and put it into the Kennay Farms Rye Whiskey cask that was used for the blend. Another portion was filled into a Journeyman ex-bourbon cask.

For Altar and Bloom batch 2, those two casks were blended together.

Please share with your friends and loved ones, and most importantly, be kind.
