Meticulously Crafted Rye Whiskeys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Fortune's Fool Recently Announced the Launch of The Overture

— May 15, 2024 — Lifestyle
Fortune's Fool, a brand founded by former anesthesiologist Juliet Schmalz, continues its journey in the premium whiskey market with the introduction of The Overture, a meticulously crafted rye whiskey. Distilled in Kentucky and aged in Seguin Moreau barrels from Napa Valley, The Overture boasts a distinctive flavor profile shaped by the high-quality barrels and the carefully planned aging process. The wood used in these barrels undergoes an extensive air-drying period of over 24 months, far exceeding the industry standard.

As a spirit, The Overture boasts delicate notes of baking spices, vanilla, and citrus that are accented by light spice with hints of berry on the first sip and notes of dried orange, warm honey, and oak on the second. A warm definitive finish rounds out the experience.

Inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Fortune's Fool embodies patience and anticipation as its spirits mature in barrels.
