This expression was created in homage of the Field Museum in Chicago. It is the distillery's Last Feather Rye—made from 60% rye and 40% wheat—that was then infused with black mission figs for 3 months. It is bottled at 90 proof.

Odd, but worth a try. Personally it's a favorite. Nose is a bit strong. Pallet is syrupy sweet from the fig. Almost jam like. Tastes like a Manhattan right out of the bottle. But of sour bitters in the finish which leaves a mulled taste in the mouth. It's very different from most whiskeys but worth the try.
Obviously fruity, but not in a cheap way. Bit of a bite, but incredibly smooth overall. If you wanted a breakfast bourbon, this would be it. Purchased in Carmel, Indiana over the holidays, currently struggling to find it sold anywhere in NYC
Very smooth for a rye. Fruity nose, presumably from the figs. Fruit flavors continue on the palate, as well as rye spice notes. Has a full mouthfeel, and minimal heat. A very different and enjoyable rye whiskey.
Collaboration with Field Museum in Chicago. Sweetener = fig. “Tastes like tea” -McKinley. Too sweet for me to drink a lot of it.
Really like this juice! The fig really comes through!
Figgy. Good for a Manhattan they say
