Rye Whiskey, 'Restoration Rye' (Batch 3)

• Rye whiskey distilled by Castle & Key distillery in Frankfort, KY.
• Mash bill of 63% rye, 17% yellow corn, 20% malted barley
• Distilled in a Vendome copper column still and 375-gallon doubler
• Batches are blended using a series of “pods,” with each pod consisting of barrels grouped to create specific sensory profiles
• Aged a minimum of 3 years
• A nose of mint, apple pie, nutmeg, and orange peel transitions to brown sugar, clove, and fig on the palate, with an especially confectionary finish full of spicy cinnamon and allspice

Castle & Key takes a vintage approach to its rye blends, emphasizing the best expression of the barrels over a consistent flavor profile from batch to batch.
