A single barrel selection from the set of barrels that made up the inaugural batch of gold medal winning Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. This was the cream-of-the-crop of California’s first gold medal winning whiskey at the American Distilling Institute’s National Judging of Craft Spirits. This cask strength straight rye whiskey was aged for just under 3 years in a 30 gallon new charred American oak cask. Woody and fruity on the nose; spicy on the palate, creamy and chocolaty on the finish. This extremely rare California Rye can be tasted; there are no bottles left to be purchased.
