Rye whiskey is at the heart of American whiskey tradition and heritage, with small rye distilleries found across the country in the late 1600s, when rye was a grain praised for its hardiness and blight resistance. By the 1800s rye whiskey was America’s number one spirit with only Prohibition able to break its popularity, followed by bourbon being boosted by corn subsidies giving it a cost advantage. Thankfully rye is back, with brands such as Michter’s, Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve, Jack Daniel’s and Wild Turkey all sharing rye whiskey in their range, and we are proud to be able to share this fantastic example of rye whiskey, aged to delicious whiskey perfection. With only 61 bottles available this is truly a small batch, single barrel rye whiskey, which has been bottled at cask strength. When it’s gone it’s gone!
