Our reflection on the sacred trance driven out of a solar eclipse inspires our newest American Single Malt. An eclipse is the loss of our sun, yet it signifies new beginnings. We can anticipate an eclipse, but we cannot change it. They are out of our control—exquisite and specific to each moment and each place. This is exactly what we worked to reflect in Mirador Eclipse. For this exploratory whisky, we substituted our standard ale yeast for two new yeasts: a red wine and rosé yeast alongside our house malt whisky yeast.

What makes MIRADOR Different

OUR PROCESS

Historically, Mirador highlights Golden Promise malted barley matured in refill casks. We do this to showcase the subtle grain nuance and delicate fruit we often find during our long and open fermentations and double-batch copper pot distillations. Mirador Eclipse takes a step further in exploring our unique dual-yeast fermentations.

INGREDIENTS

For this release, we substituted our standard ale yeast for two strains of yeast: a red wine and rosé yeast alongside our house malt whisky yeast. This process yielded notes of soft, blush red berry and fruits-of-the-forest that our single malts typically don’t readily showcase.

MATURATION

Matured in a variety of first-, second- and third-fill used Kentucky bourbon casks for four to five years before reaching the blending table, this American Single Malt balances fruit, grain and density of palate.
