Production and Raw Materials

Production emphasizes organic ingredients and durability through long aging. Examples from the product range: - Mash bills: 100% USDA Organic heritage soft white wheat in Battle Point Organic Wheat Whiskey and 100% rye in Battle Point Organic Rye Whiskey. Many products describe 2x distillation and aging in No. 3 char (53 gallon) American oak. - Aging and filtration: Several variants are aged for many years and some products are Bottled-In-Bond 100 Proof or un-chill filtered. Some whiskies mature in French oak or Mizunara oak for finishing. - Extra finishes and cask experiments: Islay, Sakura (Japanese cherry wood), Mizunara (Japan) and Barbados Rum cask finishes are used in various Two Islands and Battle Point products. Yama Mizunara Cask Single Grain Whiskey is aged in Mizunara casks and is described as a non-Japanese whiskey aged in virgin Mizunara oak. - Product styles and age information: Examples include Battle Point French Oak Whiskey (7–8 years), Battle Point Organic Rye Whiskey (ca. 6 years), Battle Point Organic Wheat Whiskey Barrel Proof (6+ years), and Yama Mizunara Cask Single Grain Whiskey (min. 5 years).

Aging in No. 3 char American oak and the use of different finish barrels (Islay, Mizunara, Sakura, Barbados Rum) to achieve complex and layered flavor profiles. Some products are described as Bottled-In-Bond and un-chill filtered to preserve character.
