Distiller Notes
A little aeration time coaxes out a mellow vanilla scent. As with its Bourbon counterpart, this rye is aged in American oak casks, then finished in white-wine seasoned French oak barrels. The result is a soft feel and honeyed fruit notes spiced.

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.
