Seagrass highlights the grassy oceanside notes we love in rye whiskeys and the opulence and spice of finishing barrels. It is a blend of American and Canadian rye whiskeys, with each ingredient meticulously sourced and finished separately in Martinique Rhum Agricole casks, apricot brandy casks, and Madeira barrels.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Barrell Seagrass will be donated to The Ocean Foundation to contribute to the conservation and restoration of seagrass.

Why focus on seagrass? It’s not just because it inspires our whiskey. Intact coastal ecosystems are one of the planet’s most valuable natural resources. Seagrass meadows, as well as mangrove forests and salt marshes, protect coastal communities from erosion and flooding by absorbing and reducing wave energy. They also sequester carbon and improve water quality.

Flavor Notes

A basket brimming with tropical and orchard fruits lies at the heart of this juicy whiskey, with prominent tones of ripe apricot from the brandy casks. The tropical notes are kept in check by a broad array of spicy and herbaceous rye aromas and complemented by the delicate florals of grassy, Martinique rhum. With a splash of water, the oxidized madeira notes emerge, candying the fruit and bringing out an earthiness on the palate.

  • Appearance

    A pale tawny with straw highlights.

  • Nose

    Sweet and juicy, Seagrass opens on pear, lychee, and white grapefruit. Classic rye flavors of cinnamon, rosemary, fennel seed, and rosehip aren’t far behind. Unctuous texture and sandy tannin are complemented by a delicate astringency so common to Canadian rye whiskeys.

  • Finish

    Fresh and clean, but the persistent tannin and astringency focus the powerful burst of camphor, chalk dust, and scorched earth.
