Ancestral Craft Spirits Blasfemus Rio Grand Valley 17 year 750ml

Ancestral Craft Spirits Blasfemus Rio Grande Valley 17 Year is the oldest release in the brand's Blasfemus brandy line, aged for 17 years in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Detailed information on the base spirit and barrel program for this small craft producer isn't widely published, but the extended age statement points to an unusually patient, small-batch approach for an American craft brandy. Texas's hot climate accelerates barrel interaction compared to cooler regions, so this much time in wood likely means a heavily oak-driven, concentrated spirit. It's a bottle for serious brandy collectors chasing rare, small-production American releases rather than a casual pour.

How to drink Blasfemus Rio Grande Valley 17 Year

Pour it neat, in a small glass, and give it real time to open before judging it. Seventeen years in Texas heat is a lot of barrel — this is a slow-sipping bottle, not a mixer.
