SponTawny begins with an incredible beer: an authentic Belgian dubbel, brewed in Belgium on Pilsner, Munich, and caramel malt, fermented with a spicy, estery Belgian yeast strain that gives it its dark, fruit-forward character. We took that beer and did something most brewers never let happen to it — double distilled it in 100% copper pot stills, cut and proofed it to 119 proof, and laid it down in new American oak, char #3, for six years. Before bottling, it rested in a fresh-dump Tawny Port cask, which is where the name comes from and where the dried fruit and toffee notes deepen even further. The result still carries the dubbel's own dark, malty backbone — just distilled, aged, and finished into something the brewery never intended to make.
