A. Altschuler 7 Year Rye, 117.46 proof, Barrel 22-R3.

This limited single barrel offering begins with an uncut, high-rye mash bill distilled in Indiana. It's then aged for 7 years (over one year in Kentucky). Bottled at cask strength, this whiskey pours at a powerful 117.46 proof, straight from the barrel.

A straightforward yet deliciously bold and flavorful. On the nose, expect a warm blend of spiced honey, and a hint of dried fruit, leading into subtle vanilla and oak. The first sip reveals a bold, just the right kick of rye spiciness, quickly balanced by a rich caramel sweetness. Mid-palate, layers of toasted oak, nuttiness, and a touch of dark chocolate add complexity. The finish is long and warm, with lingering spice.
