The Mad Angler is made of a line of spirits that are 100% distilled and aged at Iron Fish Distillery.

As Michigan’s first distillery operating on a fully functioning farm since prohibition, our goal from the beginning has been to return spirit to its origin. The spirits of the Mad Angler Series embody the water, land, and agricultural bounty of northern Michigan. The five year wait is over. Cheers to the next step in the journey!

Nose: A sweet sensation of corn pops opens first on the nose. Followed by a sprinkling of spices on top of freshly baked rolls. Gentle hits of pepper, and just a light tobacco nuance.

Palate: Lightly glazed baked goods with just a touch of vanilla and sugar. A pleasantly dry and delicate mouthfeel, warmed by a mixture of pepper and subtle rye spices. Creating a cereal like sensation for the duration of the taste.

Finish: Delicate spices help create a warm finish, pepper lasts on the palate while just a hint of vanilla creeps through to the surface. A warm expression of toasted bread fades in nicely, complimenting the spices and creating great texture and mouthfeel.

Palate: A delicate opening soon expands into a vast and layered profile of sweetness and spice. A graceful, lingering warmth crescendos with flavors of rye, gentle spice, and soft candied notes.

Finish: The flavors carry long into the finish, continuing to unfold as they rest on the palate. Rye remains ever-present, providing a strong backbone, while spices and pepper build on its complexity. Lingering hints of candy sweetness provide balance to what seems to be an everlasting finish.
