EIGHTOAKS-DOUBLE CASK-R

Double Cask Port Rye

After our initial Rye Whiskey process of in-house milling, mashing, fermentation, careful distillation, and barrel aging, we throw a wonderful twist on this traditional spirit by resting it in barrels once used for Port wine.

Distiller's Notes

Our Straight Rye Whiskey is blended and barreled in 59-gallon used Tawny Port barrels shipped from Portugal to accomplish an authentic port wine-tasting experience. These finishing casks soften the subtle heat of the Straight 2-year-old whiskey while providing familiar dessert wine flavors to make this whiskey an easy sipper.

TASTING NOTES:

Caramelized sugars with vanilla and chocolate-covered cherries. 

MASH BILL:

80% Rye

11% Corn

9% Barley

AGED

Minimum 2 years in New American Oak Char #3.  Select barrels are blended and transferred into Tawny Port barrels for an additional 6-9 months
