🐊 CYPRESS SHADE 🐊
We are excited to partner with Acadiana’s own J.T. Meleck Distillery, located just down the road from the brewery, for our latest barrel-aged imperial stout. J.T. Meleck is the only distillery that handcrafts its spirits from 100% rice, which they grow on their family farm. They’ve been impressively producing high-quality and award-winning products since 2017. While their vodka became available right away, their rice whiskey required a much longer development, aging 5 years on American oak barrels before bottling. When we received all of the freshly emptied barrels from their inaugural whiskey batch, we knew we had to fill them with a very special stout.
Cypress Shade aged in J.T. Meleck’s original rice whiskey barrels for 2 years, allowing the smoky fragrances of toasted rice and almonds to coalesce with the 13% ABV stout base. The extended barrel aging not only added gobs of flavor but also evaporated and thickened the beer, resulting in a viscous experience on par with the very best stouts we’ve ever produced.
