Produced in Evanston, Illinois, FEW Flaming Lips Brainville Rye Whiskey is a collaborative creation with rock band The Flaming Lips. The whiskey is made from a mash bill of 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley, all grown within 150 miles of the distillery. It is fermented with French wine yeast and aged in new, charred American oak barrels custom-made in Minnesota. Brainville Rye features a label designed by Justin Helton of Status Serigraph. Only 5,000 bottles were released.
The palate is a bit weak, but it’s an enjoyable whiskey. Though to be honest I like both the regular FEW Rye and the FEW Rye Single Barrel much more.
