Bottled at 92 proof and non-chill filtered. This limited-edition expression follows the highly acclaimed 2022 edition of Rye the Lightning, which received Gold from the John Barleycorn Awards, Best Finished Whiskey from Breaking Bourbon, a 93 rating from Whisky Advocate, and was awarded the #14 spot on Whisky Advocate’s 2022 Top 20 Most Exciting Whiskies of the World.
