Distiller Notes
Cask Strength is a rare commodity because produced once a year in extremely small batches. As the base of the Cask Strength, Wright & Brown uses an estate grown, organic, unmalted rye from a family farm up in the Mattole Valley of Humboldt County of California. They then supplement with a good portion of malted Barley as an homage to a centuries old style of Rye known as Old Monongahela.
Drinking Cask Strength is a pure expression of the whiskey that gives you the power to control the strength and the aromatic profile of your dram by adding water as you please, catering the whiskey experience to your whims.

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.
