What is Found North Batch 011 18 Year Old Cask Strength Whisky?
Found North Batch 011 pays homage to the brand's influential Batch 002, blending nine component whiskies aged 18-24 years to create a harmonious symphony of wood, vanilla, and spice. Interestingly, this blend includes a cask of Peregrine First Flight whisky aged in new wood, which acts as a key component alongside other new wood-aged spirits to add depth and complexity reminiscent of an orchestra playing the same note across multiple octaves.

How do you drink Found North Batch 011 18 Year Old Cask Strength Whisky?
Found North Batch 011 18 Year Old Cask Strength Whisky shines when sipped neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complex flavors, though it can also add depth to spirit-forward cocktails. Its rich, spicy profile makes it an excellent choice for cool autumn evenings, paired with hearty dishes like roasted meats or aged cheeses that can stand up to its bold character.
Nose: Rich aromas of baking spices, particularly cinnamon and nutmeg, mingle with sweet woodiness. Hints of vanilla bean and honey emerge, followed by subtle notes of cedar and blackberry. A touch of lychee tea adds an intriguing complexity.
Palate: Thick and creamy texture, reminiscent of caramel sauce. Initial warmth carries flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mid-palate reveals burnt marshmallow sweetness balanced by savory mint tea. Graham cracker notes develop, accompanied by a subtle molasses sweetness.
Finish: Long and evolving. Clove spiciness builds, complemented by lingering graham cracker sweetness. A distinct note of brandied cherry emerges, coated with crystallizing sugar. The finish tapers off with a pleasant oakiness and a hint of maple candy.
Found North Batch 011 is a meticulously crafted blend of nine component whiskies, ranging from 18 to 24 years old, including six corn whiskies, two ryes, and a new wood cask of Peregrine First Flight. The master blenders at Found North carefully layer multiple expressions of wood sugar, baking spice, and vanillin character by using corn components aged in both new wood and ex-bourbon casks, alongside rye whiskies, to create a harmonious and vibrant flavor profile reminiscent of their iconic Batch 002.
