Castle & Key’s small-batch approach to whiskey prioritizes blending the best expression of a pod of barrels while still creating a consistent house style. The result? A nuanced blend for each release that continues to prove why Castle & Key is one of the most exciting new names in Kentucky spirits. 2024’s Batch 2 clocks in at a slightly higher proof than Batch 1, highlighting notes of dark fruit and pipe tobacco.
