Proof: 100 proof
Manifest organic straight rye whiskey is made using a 60% north American Rye and 40% American wheat, both sourced through a co-op of Organic growers. The large portion of wheat grain softens the taste of a typically punchy spirit giving it a sweet tropicality.
Manifest Straight Rye Whiskey takes a classic approach to a uniquely American spirit. Using the best organic North American grains from a co-op of farm, we combine rye with hard red spring wheat to result in a slightly softened approach to Rye Whiskey.
Each batch is mashed, fermented, distilled, aged and bottled at our distillery in Downtown Jacksonville, FL. We use all American-made equipment for our production and each bottle is aged in American-grown White Oak barrels that are coopered and charred in Avon, MN.
Our Rye is currently aging in a combination of 30 and 53 gallon barrels and is bottled at 100 proof. The higher bottle proof and addition of wheat to the mash bill makes the perfect Manhattan. If you're feeling froggy, try it in a Boulevardier.
**Fun Fact: American Rye Whiskey dates back to the late 1700's and was the first prevalent whiskey of its day. Not until corn subsidies were put in place did Bourbon begin to replace Rye in the market place.
