Archer Eland
Cashmere represents the founder’s discovery in her confidence as a blender. Rye is often noted to be polarizing in flavor profile and acceptance. As the name suggests, Cashmere showcases nuances of balance, structure, a luxurious mouthfeel and layers of subtle ginger, apricots, Crème brûlée, vanilla custard and donuts. Rye whiskey can be misconstrued for being harsh and not always welcoming. Archer Eland dares to challenge this via thoughtful blending where softness, complexity and layers take precedence. Cashmere shines when sipped neatly, in a cocktail or over a single ice cube. This product invites the curious, the novice and connoisseurs. The brand is created in honor of the founder’s mother. She integrates her heritage and marries it with her contemporary experiences inviting all to give rye another chance because Archer Eland celebrates uniqueness in creating memorable experiences.
