Castle & Key Sacred Spring Vodka

The Castle & Key Sacred Spring Vodka is truly a unique premium vodka with some real character. Instead of using just one grain, such as corn, which is common for American vodka, this vodka is distilled in-house from the brand’s bourbon mash bill of 73 % white corn, 10 % Kentucky rye, and 17 % Kentucky malted barley. The grain mash bill is first distilled in their 32 inch Vendome copper column still, followed by a 600-gallon copper pot still, then further distilled to the highest purity on their customer Vendome vodka still. The distillate is cut, or proofed down, to 80 proof (40 % ABV) with the mineral-rich limestone water from the "key," which is the 140,00 gallon naturally fed, historic, key-shaped spring. The name Scared Spring Vodka speaks to the importance of the Springhouse as the water source for this made-from-scratch spirit recipe. The label detail highlights the Springhouse's keyhole shape and represents the water as liquid gold.

Castle & Key Roots of Ruin Gin

The Castle & Key Roots of Ruin Gin is distilled from grain-to-glass on-site. The base spirit is distilled to 190 proof (95 % ABV) from the brand's rye mash bill of 17 % yellow corn, 63 % Kentucky rye, 20 % Kentucky malt. The first distillation is done in the 32 inch Vendome copper column still, followed by a 600-gallon copper pot still, then further distilled to the highest purity in their custom Vendome dual-basket gin still. The seven botanicals are all sourced locally from the state of Kentucky and features: Chamomile, Ginger, Angelica Root, Lemon Verbena, Rosemary, Licorice Root, Coriander, and Juniper. Just like with the vodka, this product uses the mineral-rich limestone water from the "key," which is the 140,00 gallon naturally fed, historic, key-shaped spring in the heart of the distillery. The Roots of Ruin name refers to restoring the property and creating something new while honoring the site's history. The label highlights the native botanicals used in the gin recipe and showcases the turret of the Castle. This product is bottled at 106 proof (53 % ABV), which means it will hold well in cocktails. 

Castle & Key Restoration Rye

The Castle & Key Restoration Rye pays homage to the restoration of the property, with the imagery highlighting the special care and attention to detail of all the hands that have worked to create and release the brand’s first whiskey. The mash bill is 17 % yellow corn, 63 % Kentucky rye, and 20 % Kentucky malted barley. The Castle & Key Distillery has two 50-foot-tall column stills with a doubler, one 24 inches wide, and the second 32 inches wide, made by Vendome Copper & Brass. One still is named Maribelle, after Colonel E.H. Taylor's wife, and the second is named Fanny, after his daughter. The rye is distilled to 135 proof (67.5 % ABV), reduced to a barrel-entry-proof of 118 (59 % ABV), and matured on-site in toasted # 3 and # 4 charred barrels sourced from Speyside Cooperage in Kentucky. The brand takes a vintage-dated approach to emphasis the consistency of quality and flavor. The batch size never exceeds 80 barrels. This product is bottled around 100 proof (50 % ABV), with a plus or minus of three proofs based on the release.
