The whiskey was made using locally farmed corn, a 72-hour Sour Mash and lightly rectified copper double distillation, before being filtered using the famous Lincoln County Maple Charcoal slow filtration process.
Daddy Rack was created by J. Arthur Rackham, AKA “Daddy
Rack,” a name given to him by his eldest daughter Grace. A Master Blender with
more than 30 years of experience working with distillers and cellar masters
across Europe, Rackham has used his expertise blending spirits to create a
Tennessee Straight Whiskey that will delight first-time whiskey drinkers and connoisseurs
alike.
Just 20 barrels are selected for a Master Batch Blend. Prior
to being blended the whiskies go through a light second Maple Charcoal
filtration to add a final smoothness. The 20 selected barrels are then batch
blended using an original recipe, with no colouring, caramel or additional
flavours added.
Daddy Rack Tennessee Straight Small Batch Whiskey, which is
being distributed in the UK by Emporia brands, is now available from Royal Mile
Whiskies, for a RRP of £35.95.
