Distiller Notes
Rich caramel and brown sugar complemented by back notes of soft rye and vanilla on the nose. A balanced blend of sumptuous rye and brown sweets with an ample woody accent on the palate. The finish is pleasant and long with lingering warmth.

Tasting Panel
A limitededition release with a striking floral nose and pleasing notes of vanilla and smooth oak; tannic, lively, and silky with nice rye flavors, spice, and considerable balance. A long, smooth, and tangy blend of four spirits: two Kentucky straight rye whiskies and two Kentucky straight bourbon whiskies.
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
