Fortune’s Fool, a woman-founded and led whiskey producer, unveils its latest addition to its lineup of premium spirits: The Overture. Following the success of The Prelude, this premium straight rye whiskey is distilled in Kentucky and aged in top-quality barrels from Napa Valley’s Seguin Moreau Cooperage.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, The Overture embodies Fortune’s Fool’s commitment to excellence. With 60-80% of its flavor derived from the barrel, the whiskey’s aging process in Seguin Moreau barrels, air-dried for over 24 months, sets it apart.
Collectors and whiskey enthusiasts will be pleased to add The Overture to their home bars this year.
Juliet Schmalz, MD, Founder and CEO of Fortune’s Fool
Aged for 39 months and bottled at 109.4 proof (54.7% ABV), The Overture boasts a mash bill of 62% Rye, 30% Corn, and 8% Barley. Its sensory journey includes aromas of baking spices, sweet vanilla, and citrus, followed by a palate of light spiciness, berry notes, and warm honey, culminating in a warm finish with hints of dried white peach.
Former anesthesiologist Juliet Schmalz, who founded Fortune’s Fool in 2019, brings her precision and care to whiskey production. As one of the few women whiskey founders and producers globally, she is committed to crafting exceptional spirits.
Fortune’s Fool’s dedication to quality extends beyond The Overture and The Prelude. With upcoming releases including a bourbon later this year, the brand continues to raise the bar in the whiskey industry.
