The Fluid Dynamics range is comprised of barrel-aged cocktails made from craft-method spirits. This barrel aged Manhattan Rye is produced at Cains Tamar Distillery, and distributed by Craft Distillers. Master blenders and distillers are essentially alchemists, who inhabit a deep understanding of the spirits they produce, from the flavors and aromas, to how the liquid interacts with the barrel. Fluid dynamics recipes involve a lot of experimentation with blends and take several months to develop.Crafted from whiskey distilled through an antique cognac still, and rested for six weeks, Rye Manhattan is a richly decadent mix of Low Gaps award-winning Rye whiskey and Andy Quadys Vya sweet vermouth.
