Rye Finished in Rum Barrels (Summer 2024)

Our limited release Summer 2024 bottling is a 4-5 year Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in Caribbean Rum barrels (previously used by Appleton Estate). The Rye is made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Like our standard Rye, the whiskey was distilled in copper stills then matured in hand-selected, 53-gallon, charred American oak barrels.

Only 2,100 bottles were produced. 

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, this whiskey is fruity with aromas of apple pie and dark maple syrup. Once sipped, rich flavors of molasses and espresso are apparent before revealing notes of spiced fruit cake and root beer. The finish lingers with hints of candy apple and brown sugar.
