Treaty Oak Red Handed is a Texas distillery founded in 2006 near Austin with a story so familiar that I’m getting tired of repeating it on this blog. An upstart distillery, not enough startup capital, long time to wait for whiskey to age, blah blah blah. These guys added a clever twist by branding their “get sourced whiskey to pay the bills” bottlings under the “Red Handed” moniker. In other words, they stole somebody else’s whiskey. Yuk yuk. Thankfully, there is also a “grain to glass” bottling of the distillery’s own output called Ghost Hill, now reviewed here. The distillery also has a sourced 10-year-old rye.

Transparency is our truth and we’re proud to say Red Handed Bourbon and Red Handed Rye are blended. Proud because the way we blend and finish them embodies everything Treaty Oak is about, a meeting of tradition and innovation. Treaty Oak Red Handed Bourbon is a thoughtfully curated blend of our favorite distilleries in Kentucky and Virginia. A Double Gold medal recipient from The Fifty Best, this is bourbon worth stealing.”

Davis Valley Distillery in Virginia (Aged 4 Years, 66% Corn, 14% Rye, 20% Barley).

Oz Tyler Distillery in Kentucky (Aged 2 years, 70% Corn, 21% Rye, 9% Barley).

Appearance / Color:

Rosy Amber

Nose / Aroma / Smell:

Papery, with an initial waft of smoke and black pepper. A wide aroma profile of dry corn husks, wood chips, black licorice, and a slight ashy fungal note. Not sweet. It takes a rest in the glass to reveal some lively notes of peach and nougat. Definitely give this some time to open up.

Flavor / Taste / Palate:

Medium-bodied with a medium tongue burn. Palate notes seem shyer than the aroma, but include cherry wood, maraschino cherries, and a raft of rye spices principally cinnamon. There is also a continuation of the black pepper and licorice from the nose.

Finish:

Of medium length. Ashy again with a mouth-drying oaky tannin and faint honey and corn syrup. Fades with a ghost of candied cherries and menthol, and totally without bitterness.
