American Rye. By law, whiskey made in the USA from at least 51% rye and aged in new, charred American oak barrels. Prohibition nearly made Rye a whiskey of the past, but modern distillers are fighting back. Our small batch Rye is carefully distilled from a recipe utilizing Maine grown rye as well as specialty roasted brewers’ barley. Aged in small barrels by the sea in Portland’s Old Port, our Rye Whiskey drinks smooth and flavorful. Smooth, sweet and spicy up front with hints of chocolate and leather on the finish.
