Product Description:

 Ampersand Malus, Straight Rye Whiskey & Calvados Finished Whiskey. A meeting of grain and orchard, crafted with intention.

 Ampersand Malus is a bold, contemplative whiskey that bridges American rye tradition with classic French apple brandy. Built on a foundation of straight rye whiskey and expertly married with Calvados, this expression delivers layered complexity, balancing spice, fruit, and elegance in every pour.

 This is not a flavored whiskey. It’s a thoughtfully blended and finished spirit designed for drinkers who appreciate nuance, structure, and old-world inspiration.
