Why We Spent Over A Year Making This

Tanager has been in the works for over 7 years and the packaging alone took over a year. Check out how we created this bottle, box, label, and everything else that goes with it! PLUS Marc Burkhardt describes his work process and reacts to the final product in real time!
To create our most premium offering to date, Nancy and John combined our finest 6-year-old high rye bourbon with pure Texas water and aged it at 50 proof for at least one year before adding it to the base whiskey for final proofing. This ancient blending technique, known as Petites Eaux (Small Waters), has been used for centuries in the Cognac and Armagnac regions of France. Petites Eaux creates a rich and complex flavor profile, adding more caramelized wood sugars and length to the palate of the final product. This is similar to the standing practice of 'barrel rinsing' used amongst many bourbon producers but utilizes a much longer aging process. For Tanager, the result is a cigar blend whiskey with a remarkably sweet and soft finish.

Picked up my bottle yesterday and have to say y’all knocked it out of the park with this one, I’ve enjoyed a lot of y’all’s whiskey but this one is just stellar.

[@stew411]

This is simply amazing and certainly hope I’m lucky enough to be able to add one to my collection

[@Whiskeats]

This is Genius!!

[@mikespadier]

A work of art both inside and out. 🎨

[@tkkrpec1662]

Beautiful box and story!

[@telosmonos_gustavo]

Mark’s approach was simply GENIUS!!! Triptychs open up a sacred space. Not to carry that metaphor too far, but it’s evident that Mark crafted art in three dimensions that truly honor this release 🙏 I only hope I can afford it!

[@WelcometotheJones]

Beautiful story and delivery of an delicious product! Hope I’m able to find one to appreciate & enjoy!

[@StrikerEureka210]

So when are these on sale?

[@dhoosee]

Marc, you had me until you broke out the 16oz jelly jars to sample the nectar 😮 Being a man of detail, I would expect to see you pouring into a Glencairn or a proper rocks glass. Everything else looked wonderful! Hope to have the chance at a bottle for my collection and my belly 😂

[@Whiskeats]

Would love to qualify for a media sample for a review for my channel.

[@DreBrooks]

We need your bourbon in Georgia!!!

[@TMExtremeOutdoor]

Nice bottle. Wish I could try the bourbon. But living in the PNW I never get to see you’ll limited releases and your standard stuff that our stores get are very over priced here.

[@JulieMcCall-v4r]

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@christopherbabb9961]

The making of the box is Austin, Tx in a nutshell. Looking forward to the juice, but please explain how the box has anything to do with the bourbon😂

[@mikespadier]

I believe that’s explained in the video.
