CERAN ST. VRAIN'S TAOS LIGHTNING single barrel straight Rye Whiskey 15yr Ceran St. Vrain was a 19th century Taos distiller and historical figure of the Taos Pueblo Revolt. A descendant of French aristocrats, he started out as a fur trader in Taos, NM, and went on to become a Mexican-American War hero, store proprietor and translator for the military before starting a mill that supplied the military with flour. When he died in 1870 more than 2000 people attended his funeral. CERAN ST. VRAIN'S is made from 95% rye aged 15 years in new charred American Oak. The dry climate and high elevation in New Mexico create a unique aging process. CERAN ST. VRAIN'S is bottled at cask strength. CERAN ST. VRAIN'S has "an oaky, sweet nose with hot cereal notes. The tongue impact is breathtaking: a hot, thick, slam of spice, mint, and wood that cools to a long, sweet, mint finish." (Lew Bryson, Whisky Advocate, Spring 2013) Each barrel is hand selected and chill filtered. Each bottle is hand bottled, numbered and dated. 45% ABV (90 proof) Available in 375ml and 750ml bottles points. "Powerful stuff." Whisky Advocate, Spring 2013 www.KGBspirits.com Drink Different
