After the tour and meeting the distillery’s beloved cat, Cooper, we finally taste a highly sought-after, RARE 7-Year Small Batch Rye that was bottled-in-bond.

This Distillery Only 7-Year Rye was aged for a full seven years on the property. We explore whether the low-rye mash bill (56% Rye) delivers on its promise.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, expect floral notes, sweet honey, hints of chocolate, and herbal mint. The palate is beautifully balanced with rich caramel, baking spice, and a touch of lemon peel. The finish is long, warm, and ends with a unique peppermint patty coolness.

  • Mash Bill: 56% Rye, 33% Corn, 11% Malted Barley
  • Proof: 100 (Bottled-in-Bond)
  • Release: 2023 Distillery Only
