“This bottling is both a celebration of the past five years as well as a glimpse into our future,” said Baltimore Spirits Company co-founder and CEO Max Lents in a prepared statement. “It’s our oldest barrel of Epoch in the warehouse, and it will be a long time before we’re able to do this again.”
Less than 250 bottles of the Epoch Rye Wooden Anniversary Limited Edition are being made available, each sold in commemorative “Wooden Anniversary” branded boxes, along with thank-you cards signed by each of the company founders. Pricing is around $100 per 750 ml bottle, with very short official tasting notes indicating it to be “a more developed and fully mature version of Epoch Rye Whiskey with notes of candy cherry, spearmint, and caramel with an extra silky finish.”
Baltimore Spirits Company, for those unfamiliar with it, aims to restore “an industry of rye whiskey and spirits manufacturing to Maryland” in their “new, state-of-the-art distillery” by combining “modern distillation techniques with Old World craftsmanship to create expressive spirits.”
