Sunset at Sugar Bay
A small batch from the Barrel finished Series
Sugar Bay is nestled in the heart of Land Between The Lakes, a lush, forested area in Western Kentucky that is rich in both natural beauty and history. The bay itself is named after the abundant sugar maples that once lined its shores, offering sweetness to the early settlers who tapped them for syrup. Over time, the bay became a beloved spot for those seeking the quiet, serene refuge of its calm waters and dense woodlands.
Sunset at Sugar Bay captures this moment in a bottle. Just as the setting sun brings out the most vibrant, complex colors in the landscape, the finishing process in a red wine cask adds layers of flavor and character to the spirit. The blend of 50% corn and 50% cane reflects the area's agricultural heritage, while the wine cask finish adds a sophisticated touch, much like the way the last light of day enhances the natural beauty of Sugar Bay.
