Rapper Yelawolf has teamed up with Creek Water to launch a limited edition 18-Year-Old Rye Whiskey called Sometimes Y. The new release arrives as a celebration of American Rapper Yelawolf’s collaborative album with singer and songwriter Shooter Jennings.
Distilled and aged for a minimum of 18 years north of Raleigh, North Carolina, the Limited Edition Creek Water Sometimes Y whiskey is then double-barreled and finished in the South in both heavy toast virgin American oak casks and light toasted French oak casks.
The whiskey offers aromas of spiced pears, cedar, dried cloves, wildflower honey, and a hint of ripe red apple at first whiff. Notes of dried black cherries, cooked Georgia peaches, cracked black pepper, and charred orange peel engulf the palate upon the first sip. The finish highlights subtle notes of cured leather, aged tobacco leaves, roasted coffee, charred American oak, and toasted almonds with a clean and spicy ending.
Yelawolf also took part in designing the bottle. Taking design cues from his Slumerican apparel brand, the new limited edition Creek Water Sometimes Y whiskey will be cased in a premium hand-made custom wood box with silver serpent emblems and hand-crafted leather details. Like the Sometimes Y album, the whiskey bottle itself is supposed to evoke the artists’ outlaw-loving spirit. The bottle is adorned with typography and snake imagery reminiscent of a tattoo.
“This whiskey is really a love letter to fans of my music, apparel, and whiskey,” said Yelawolf. “Like the music throughout my career, this whiskey is a bit more nuanced, and refined but still packs a punch when you least expect it.”
Just 600 bottles of the Creek Water Sometimes Y whiskey have been produced and will be available to consumers for $400 per bottle. The whiskey will be available for purchase at the brand’s official website.
