Distiller Notes
Comprised of a mash bill of rye, wheat, and a specialty malted barley. Just as with our bourbon, the distillate for our rye is meticulously handcrafted. We then age in heavy charred new American oak casks. This Rye has complexity well beyond its years with notes of butterscotch, vanilla, and citrus.
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.
