Rye Whiskey, Hazelbaker 4 Year Toasted Oak

• Straight rye whiskey produced by NULU Whiskey (PCS Distilling Co.) in Louisville, Kentucky
• Distilled by an undisclosed distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky
• Mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley
• Aged a minimum of 4 years; primary aging in toasted char #4 new American oak barrels from West Virginia Great Barrel Company followed by finishing in custom-toasted new American oak
• Grains—both cereal and wood—are the driving force here, with raspy tones of grass and barrel supplemented with notes of fresh fennel, black licorice, and green cigar wrapper—all with a well-integrated proof.
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 60% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

 This muscular, expressive rye combines a classic mash bill with an inspired toasted-barrel regimen to create an engaging sipper that has the focus and driving proof to inspire cocktailian dreams. Priced (and crafted!) to land in top-shelf selections—an elaborate Vieux Carré or an Old Pal with serious swagger come to mind—this is a rye for gifted mixologists.
