Sanctified Spirits, LLC, introduces Oak & Eden Handcrafted Whiskey, a line of highly original in-bottle finished, inspired whiskeys. “Our whiskey is exceptional because of the way in which we finish it, in-bottle,” says Joe Giildenzopf, the company’s CEO.
“We start with Spirit, Straight American Whiskey, in two varieties, Bourbon and Rye. Next, using our patent-pending process, we add Wood, a 5-inch long spiral cut piece of American Oak to each bottle. We call this our “Spire“. The Spire has been exposed to Fire (just like a barrel would be) in order to extract flavorful botanicals that when introduced to the bottle adds Spice, smoothness and character to our whiskey,” stated Mr. Giildenzopf.
Oak & Eden is available in Bourbon, finished with a Toasted Oak spire and Rye, finished with a Charred Oak spire and can be purchased in many Texas liquor stores. Other innovative expressions will be released later this year, in limited, small batch quantities. “In September, we will be releasing a “Cabernet-Steeped” variety, whereby we rest a French Oak spire in cabernet sauvignon for 6 weeks prior to using it to finish, in-bottle, an American Whiskey,” claims Joe Giildenzopf.
Oak & Eden Handcrafted Whiskey is being distributed by Republic National Distributing Co. The company aspires to grow the distribution of the brand to other states soon.
