Age: 7-year old cask strength
Proof: 115.8
Mash Bill: 75% Horton Rye, 13% New York Corn, 12% Malted Barley
Tasting Notes:
- The concentration of sugars results in a unique and delicious range of aromas and flavors that belie the assumption that rye whiskey is spicy.
- Prepare for tropical, herbal, and succulent sugar characteristics, but remember, each barrel carries its own personality!
About the product:
- Through a collaboration with Cornell University we re-discovered Horton Rye – a 17th century variety of rye native to New York
- The Horton Family, farmers from central England, emigrated to and helped settle present day Rye, NY
- New York Distilling Company inherited just 10 seeds in 2010 to begin the journey to bring this lost and forgotten heirloom grain back to life
- It took 5 years of harvesting and re-planting just to have enough grain to begin distillation
- Today we have 200 acres in perpetual crop rotation in the Finger Lakes Region of New York
