Created by entrepreneur Steve Groth and 7th generation master distiller Ron Call and his two sons Jacob and Clayton, this Kentucky company focuses on rye rather than bourbon. The nose on this expression offers fresh rye grain and sweet notes of vanilla frosting, followed by a palate that’s creamy, with flavorful red berries and lemony brightness. On the finish, sweetness is kept in check by oak and spice. It’s not super-spicy, but smooth and easy, and a delicious, lovely sipper.
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.
