St. Augustine Distillery’s production team utilized several industry legends to assist in this release. Jake Norris, Founding Distiller of Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, developed the mash bill. Dave Pickerell, former Master Distiller of Maker’s Mark, designed the production facility and guided the final blending.
Commenting on the launch, Philip McDaniel, Co-Founder and CEO of St. Augustine Distillery, said: “Developed by the best craft distillers in the world, Florida Double Cask Bourbon is a celebration of the Sunshine State, its agriculture and unique maritime climate. Florida’s year-round heat and humidity ages our bourbon faster and with greater intensity than anywhere in the country. Our distillers have a running joke that our barrels ‘age in dog years.”
St. Augustine Distillery Double Cask Bourbon, will be available at the distillery’s gift shop on September 9th, before then rolling out to selected specialist retailers for a RRP of $50.00.
