Tequila-Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey

American straight rye whiskey (51%+ rye, aged 2+ years in new charred American oak per TTB) finished in casks that previously held aged tequila (typically extra añejo). The finish imparts agave, vegetal, and vanilla notes layered on the rye's peppery spice backbone. Bottled at 98 proof / 49% ABV. Examples include Sagamore Spirit Rye in Tequila Barrels.
