"Sourced goods from Midwest grains with a mash bill of 80% corn, 17% rye, and 3% barley. Aged and matured in a proprietary re-casking process and an enhanced oak stave finishing. Profiles are very much like a Kentucky bourbon with a hint of sweet caramel, honey and brown sugar. Finished at 90 proof. Patent pending, football replica with stitches and seams on the front of the bottle, sits atop a pedestal base of as etched miniature football field replete with yard markers and end zones. Branded with "Canton Distillery", (Home of Football)." —producer

"A light amber colour with coppery reflections. An explosion of intense notes, centered around fresh exotic fruits, and dried yellow fruits like apricot and peach. Gentle spice notes then follow, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, preserved ginger, with a hint of liquorice to animate these aromas and make them more lively. The first taste is bold and fresh with an 84‐proof blend. The Rémy Martin style can be identified in the smoothness of this cognac. Extremely round, it coats the palate, punctuated with notes of fresh fruits, fleshy fruits, and spices. A touch of grilled almond, is extremely long and complex in the mouth." —producer
