Ripple Rye Vol. 2 begins as a classic straight rye whiskey, distilled with precision and aged patiently for 7.5 years in American oak. This foundation offers a robust backbone of space and character. To elevate the rye’s natural intensity, the spirit undergoes a rare finishing process - resting in barrels that once held rich maple syrup, then layered with toasted Amburana Oak staves. This dual influence weaves sweetness and spice into an intricate tapestry of flavor. The finished whiskey carries both the tradition of long aging and the innovation of creative finishing. Maple rounds the edges, amburana adds its exotic warm cinnamon, and the rye’s bold grain character shines through - a balance of heritage and alchemy in every sip. TASTING NOTES NOSE Gingerbread fresh from the oven, layered with ripe cherry, nutmeg, and a swirl of vanilla. PALATE Maple syrup richness leads into spiced rye, unfolding with candied orange peel, caramelized sugar, and praline. A gentle wave of holiday spice rounds the edges. FINISH Lingering and velvety, with maple, cacao, and a graceful Amburana sweetness that carries through in warm, spiced waves. “Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men” "Ripple," The Grateful Dead.
