DISTILLER'S NOTES:
Walleye Run Whiskey Very Small Batch 2026-1: Fisherman's Batch, aged 7 years, is coming in its custom bottle featuring ripples to represent water and etchings of White Pines – Michigan’s official state tree. This American whiskey ventures steadfastly into uncharted territory. Inspired by the Northwoods and crafted in the Great Lakes State, this whiskey presents new flavors, ingredients, and methods to the American whiskey landscape.
Fisherman’s Batch is the first rollout of New Holland Distilling and Journeymans' partnership. This release is a sweet mash 7 year malted rye, 50% New Holland Distillery and 50% from Journeyman Distillery, blended and then aged in brandy and toasted oak casks. On the nose, expect honeysuckle, baked apple, toffee, and caramelized sugar. The sip is dry and not overly sweet, with notes of marzipan and a grainy character that gives it depth and structure. It finishes with the kind of satisfaction you only get from a clean pull on the line. Built for those who rise before the sun and return with stories worth retelling.
