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!

Appearance: Golden Cinder
Nose: A warm and inviting blend of breakfast cereal dusted with sugar and baked spices creates an intriguing aroma. Freshly baked donuts mingle with deep, earthy notes of tobacco and oak. A gentle hint of fruit evokes the sensation of opening a homemade jar of jam, adding a subtle sweetness.
Palate: The delicate sweetness of honey and apple comes through on the first sip, giving way to a pleasantly dry mouthfeel that highlights the interplay of four distinct grains. A light, peppery rye character emerges near the end, introducing a subtle smokiness that seamlessly transitions into the finish.
Finish: Lingering traces of smoke and tobacco create a lasting earthiness that lingers after each sip. The rye and pepper return, bringing a lasting warmth that complements the dry, textured mouthfeel, leaving a satisfying impression long after the glass is empty.

A honey-like sweetness cuts through, along with the subtle aid of vanilla creating a medium to light body with bold but not overpowering rye character that holds over throughout the taste.
