Description
We like to think of our 100% Malted Rye Whiskey as a malt whiskey first, and arye whiskey second. Given that malty identity, it seemed natural to give it asherry cask finish, as often used for malt whiskeys around the world.Handcrafted Spanish oloroso and pedro ximenez sherry casks were judiciouslyapplied. The result is a rather unique whiskey in the pantheon of sherry caskaging. The sherry cask element is forward and deeply pitched, yet beautifullyleavened by the piquant grains, which burst into the finish like a sunrise. It takesan already girthy rye and amplifies the body and mouthfeel. In short, our MaltedRye has indeed taken sherry cask aging very well in hand—and arguably proveditself as a malt whiskey of the world.
