The acclaimed master blender brings her exacting palate to this highly anticipated 2026 rye release. Instead of leaning on brute force, this intricate blend deliberately explores the delicate intersection between a robust American rye and French fortified wine. Major orchestrated the secondary maturation utilizing both Red and White Pineau des Charentes casks. The dual-cask finish builds a formidable labyrinth of flavor. It completely respects the underlying spirit. Those vibrant fruit notes never overstay their welcome or muddy the fiery grain at its core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscipline drives the finishing program here. The WoodWork Collective operates on a pivotal philosophy: supplemental wood should always elevate, not obscure. Sourcing these specific Pineau des Charentes barrels was crucial for achieving a layered, nuanced profile. White Pineau imparts bright, floral nectar elements, while the red variation contributes deeper, oxidized plum and dark grape must characteristics. Melding them together takes immense patience. This meticulous, multi-staged approach yields a whiskey that actively bursts with dimension, offering something remarkably compelling for those who prioritize structural complexity over sheer, unadulterated proof. It stands at a confident 108.9 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMasterfully blended by Eboni Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished in authentic Red and White Pineau des Charentes casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled at a robust 108.9 proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Major","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42734966571054,"sku":"851115009701","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0173\/0930\/files\/Major-Red-and-White-PDC.jpg?v=1790130703","url":"https:\/\/dewinespot.co\/products\/major-2026-rye-release-002-red-white-pineau-cask-finish-blend","provider":"De Wine Spot - Rare Spirits \u0026 Curated Wine Experts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
