It's time for Batch #6 of Peated Rye!  Recently named as "Whiskey of the Year 2023" by the All Things Whiskey Podcast and named at #50 in renowned whiskey expert Fred Minnick's Top 100 American Whiskeys of 2021, this unique whiskey is an incredible fusion of flavors that we love!
 
How the Peated Rye came to be:  Peated barley is typically utilized in the Scotch Whiskeys of the Islay region of Scotland.  One of our standard whiskeys is our Peated Bourbon, and over the years, we have found that this peat-smoked barley pairs really nicely with the rye grains of Pennsylvania, and thus, our Peated Rye was born. 
 
For those following along over the years, batches #1 through #4 came out of 15-gallon, 25-gallon, 30-gallon, and 53-gallon barrels, respectively.  Batch #5 and everything afterwards continues with the 53-gallon barrel whiskey.  This batch, #6, is made up of 5 barrels put away between 2019 and 2020 - our oldest batch yet. We are really excited about this blend because of its amazing flavor intensity: we feel it balances the beautiful grain notes (herbal rye spice and citrus) preserved in pot distillation with the sweet barrel derived flavors.
 
As we always do with our special releases, this one is bottled unfiltered and at barrel proof to preserve maximum flavor.
