tasting notes

TRIPLE-LAYERED
IN FLAVORS

The bold spice of rye, the depth of French oak, and the nuance of tequila barrels unite in a balanced, elegantly-layered profile.

  • NOSE

    Floral and fruit-forward. Toasty vanilla, with a subtle clove smokiness.

  • PALATE

    Baking spices and cracked pepper, tempered by herbal agave syrup. Earthy tobacco and brown sugar.

  • FINISH

    Soft and balanced, with orange blossom honey, tropical fruits, and a French oak finish.

FINISHING PROCESS

Aged with INTENTION

Boldly innovative with novel finishing techniques, our Straight Rye Whiskey is aged up to 7 years before being finished for up to 12 months in French Oak Extra Añejo barrels. The final touch—a blend with an 11-year-old rye—resulting in a refined, rich whiskey full of exceptional depth and new discoveries.

Two worlds
coming together

Inspired by tequila’s distinct production process, our Master Distiller set out to innovate beyond fortified wine and explore barrels from a new continent and spirit category. What he discovered was an extraordinary find—Patrón French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila barrels that had held agave distillate for four years. Exceedingly rare for both their French Oak construction and extended aging, these barrels lend a rich, spiced finish to our Straight Rye Whiskey.

Owen’s vision

“The triple layering of spice profiles has a uniqueness to it, sure, but the point wasn’t necessarily to be unexpected. We were very intentional with pairing the original whiskey with the finishing casks, enhancing and adding depth to the base characteristics of the rye itself in a way that’s rounded, elegant, and cohesive.”

– Owen Martin, Master Distiller
