Process & Profile

Dark Arts Straight Rye Whiskey Toasted Amburana Oak Stave Finish takes a mature, high-rye American whiskey and layers it with one of the most distinctive woods currently being explored in whiskey finishing. The base whiskey is distilled in Indiana from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, then blended, finished, and bottled by Dark Arts Whiskey House in Kentucky. Current small-batch blends range from approximately 7 to 8.5 years old.

For the final stage of maturation, Dark Arts adds custom-toasted Amburana oak staves for several weeks. Also known as Brazilian oak, Amburana is famous for delivering intense baking-spice and dessert-like flavors. Here, its cinnamon, gingerbread, and sweet spice character complements the naturally peppery rye rather than completely masking it, creating a bold 108-proof whiskey with a distinctive balance of fruit, spice, sweetness, and oak.
