Potential blending contribution: May add floral lift and red-fruit sweetness with a savory wood accent. Start at low proportions and assess whether the floral character complements the base. Inference only; no Academy tasting.
Debut announced March 2, 2026: P.Club priority access March 3 and Whiskey Row availability later in March. The launch release specifies 113.8 proof; the current product page rounds or states this as 114 without explaining the difference. This record retains the precise debut specification rather than assuming a second batch. Japanese cherry wood supplies the secondary treatment; it is not cherry flavoring or a claim of distillation in Japan. Drinkhacker’s September 2026 festival tasting supports the floral/fruit character, but supplies no exact batch or proof. Final federal approval not checked.
