Broken Barrel

This Rye whiskey is distilled in Owensboro Kentucky ‚Äì just like our bourbon. However it is unlike any rye whiskey you‚Äôve ever tasted. Charred French oak gives a woody body to the spirit while ex-bourbon (still soaked from the previous tenant) and ex-sherry cask staves all join forces to create a fiery yet balanced and smooth taste and finish. We use the same proprietary Oak Bill‚Ñ¢ to embolden this rye whiskey and give it an uncommon and untraditional taste and character. Aged a minimum of two years. Call it sacrilegious call it untraditional call it heresy‚Äîwe won‚Äôt be offended. But trust us. Once you taste it you may begin to question the tradition yourself.  Mash Bill: 95% Rye 5% Malted Barley  Oak Bill‚Ñ¢ 40% French Oak Staves 40% Ex-Bourbon Cask Staves 20% Sherry Cask Staves  Heresy Rye Whiskey was awarded the Gold Medal in 2019 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for rye whiskies.
