PAUILLAC BARRIQUES

Blending is an art form, and our Dark Rye is your chance to own what might very well be a masterpiece. It all begins with Kentucky Rye, providing a firm foundation of spice, oak, dried fruit and subtle molasses undertones for this release to build upon. From there, Canadian Rye from our award-winning Alberta Distillery is skillfully layered in. A touch of California Port, and its complementary notes of ripe fruit, provides the third and final layer to a whiskey just as at home on the rocks as it is in a cocktail. Full in flavor, yet delicately nuanced, you’d be wise to grab a bottle of our Dark Rye to experience this magical blend for yourself.

Roknar marries aromas of brown sugar and cinnamon with vanilla bean, roasted almonds and freshly sawn oak.

Crafted in small batches with the utmost attention to detail, Masterson's is a 100% rye whiskey that far exceeds industry standards for rye whiskey production. Our artisans incorporate only the most fragrant and plump grains of rye and pure glacial water from the northern Rockies into a meticulous distillation process that utilizes an old-fashioned pot still. The resulting spirit is then aged in perfectly charred white-oak casks for over ten years to produce a truly exceptional whiskey.

Masterson's is all rye and only rye, meeting the strictest definition of traditional rye whiskey. The rye is grown in the verdant Pacific Northwest, and we chose only rye that exhibits the perfect combination of weight, plumpness, rich, and earthy fragrance. These key characteristics, along with our meticulous distillation process, give Masterson's its uniquely smooth taste.

For nearly 220 years, the Tuthilltown Gristmill located off Albany Post Road in Gardiner, New York used waterpower to mill local grains into flour. In 2001, Ralph Erenzo acquired the property and, together with a partner, converted one of the mill's granaries into a distillery. At the time, Erenzo had little experience distilling spirits. After purchasing a furnace from eBay and a German pot still without instructions, he distilled his first batch of vodka using apple scraps from a nearby orchard in the Hudson Valley. Following the distillation of apples, Erenzo began experimenting with the distillation of whiskey. "Our first aged spirit was an experiment that turned out quite well indeed," he says. "And since we are a small batch shop, we can change direction overnight. We also realized early that whiskey was coming back, in particular the interest in straightforward aged spirits; people are just tired of the same old thing. And we copied no one." Hudson Maple Cask Rye Whiskey is a limited-edition rye whiskey distilled from locally-sourced New York rye. Once the grains have been harvested, they are milled and mashed at the distillery before being twice distilled through a copper pot-still. Following distillation, the rye is aged in charred American oak casks for under four years. The walls of the warehouse in which the casks are laid to rest are lined with heaters that are powered by water from the distillery's stills. As a result, when the stills are running, the warehouse becomes incredibly warm, causing the oak casks to expand and interact with the whiskey. Each night, when the stills are dormant and the temperature cooler, bass speakers, which have been placed throughout the warehouse, play very deep bass music. The bass vibrates the barrels, agitating the whiskey and creating micro-expansions and contractions in the barrels themselves. This sonic aging process unique in the industry adds to the interaction of the wood and whiskey and results in a more robust flavor profile. After its initial beauty rest in American oak casks, the rye whiskey is double-barreled, or finished, in maple syrup-cured whiskey barrels from a local Hudson Valley partner. This finishing process contributes rounded notes of maple syrup to the whiskey, and complements its notes of black tea, vanilla, rye toast and vanilla cream. "We're not making whiskey the 'traditional' way, as defined for 80 years by the big whiskey producers," says Erenzo. "We are making it the way their grandfathers made it. We do all the work, hands-on, from scratch. All of our product is hand-made."

As the name suggests, this Rye Whiskey is bottled at cask strength, meaning it is not diluted before bottling, offering an intense and robust flavor profile. The higher alcohol content enhances the whiskey's depth and complexity, providing an authentic and unfiltered taste experience.

The mash bill used in creating this whiskey is carefully curated to emphasize the spiciness and boldness of rye grains, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate a more pronounced rye-forward taste. Each sip reveals a symphony of flavors, including warm cinnamon, cloves, and a touch of peppery notes that linger on the palate, making it a truly memorable sipping experience.

The aging process is a crucial element in the development of Nashville Barrel Company Seven Eleven Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. It spends years maturing in charred oak barrels, where it acquires a distinct smoothness and gains complexity as it absorbs flavors from the wood. The result is a well-balanced whiskey with hints of caramel, vanilla, and subtle oak undertones, adding depth to the spiciness of the rye.

Packaged in a thoughtfully designed bottle, the presentation exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the craftsmanship that goes into every aspect of this whiskey's production. The label proudly showcases the Nashville Barrel Company's logo, symbolizing the commitment to quality and tradition.

Whether savored neat, on the rocks, or as a base for craft cocktails, the Nashville Barrel Company Seven Eleven Cask Strength Rye Whiskey promises to elevate any drinking experience with its bold flavors and memorable taste. Whiskey aficionados and connoisseurs alike will find this expression a true gem in their collection, and a testament to the timeless art of whiskey-making that thrives in the heart of Nashville.

Detailed Description

For Revolution Rye, the mash bill is 100 percent rye (similar to the Canadian rye whiskey used by a few different brands). Interestingly, the Revolution Rye mash bill uses three types of rye grain, including a chocolate malted rye. A portion of the rye is toasted, which Mad River claims releases aromatic chocolate and mocha notes into the distillate.

Nose: Out of a Glencairn glass, the nose has very strong hay and cereal grain notes. Underneath the almost overpowering grassy notes, faint cocoa notes that the toasted rye allegedly adds.

Palate: On the front, the cereal grain notes carry over from the nose. As the flavor unfolds, the cocoa notes make a brief appearance but are pretty quickly overpowered by bitter grassy notes.

Finish: The finish is grassy, dry, bitter, and unfortunately lingering.

A bourbon drinker’s rye! Incredibly creamy with terrific levels of sweetness balanced by soft spice. 

The Rossville Distillery opened its doors in 1847 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the then-upcoming rye whiskey capital of the world. Located near the Ohio River, the distillery had a beneficial position for trade, as well as an aquifer directly beneath it that provided limestone-filtered water. During their humble beginnings, a single blind horse was pulling the grist mill, capping the production at 2 barrels per week. But by the 20th century, the company had come a long way, capable of storing 60 thousand barrels at once. Rye whiskey was on the rise and the distillery was up to the challenge. The spirit was immensely popular before Prohibition and the old fashioned was created among other rye cocktails. Rossville Union was resurrected by MGP and continues the tradition at the historic 1847 distillery, focusing on masterfully-crafted rye whiskey. Their Master Crafted Straight Rye Whiskey expression is a testament to that. The smooth and slightly smoky spirit is aged at least 5 years new charred American oak barrels and bottled at 94 proof.
