"Priced a notch below comparable peers, this rye delivers powerful flavors that feel excitingly untamed, and will impress bourbon and rye lovers alike."
“An excellent value, all-purpose rye…I can see this coming into my regular rotation immediately.”
“A solid example of the style…Destined to fill a role as a cocktail workhorse in higher-class establishments.”
“Rock-solid heft and flavor that doesn’t quit.”
“Very nicely balanced and approachable. This is a solid addition to the category, and at a very reasonable price.”
THE RYE MASHBILL
While the distillation process for Straight Rye is
similar to our Small Batch Bourbon, the difference
lies in the mashbill. It’s 51% rye grain instead
of corn: the legal requirement for this style
of American Whiskey.
TASTING NOTES STRAIGHT RYE
“On the palate, it’s like butter,

and hitting
the tongue with a cadre of spice, from
cinnamon to black pepper.”
