Zeppelin Bend is a double distilled straight-malt whiskey. Plenty of vanilla and clove, with a classic American-oak finish.

"This is a unique corn whisky made from atole, a roasted blue corn meal. We use this rich and nutty corn to bring something new to the corn whisky tradition. At cask strength, True Blue is the way we have always enjoyed our roasted Hopi blue corn whisky and now there is enough to share."

"Double chocolate, it appears... as usual a stunning nose from Prichards: do they know how to do anything else? Crisp rye and crisper apple teams with equally firm Demerara and liquorice but that chocolate plus corn and vanilla offers the counteriing softness required; a mega bourbon nose...; Like the nose, absolutely breathtaking intensity which spells bourbon with every atom; spellbinding balance between the maple syrup sweetness and the drier vanillas; the corn really does have a major input in flavour. Oils and Dries out a fraction and some cocoa returns, but remains chewy. If only they could bottle that nose ... oh, they have ...!!! Just wonderful whiskey."
