American Whiskey

Since the 1990’s, the Michter’s team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high-quality American Rye whiskey category. The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter’s US★1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest. For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than a more industry standard higher proof.

The first ever Rye Whiskey of the Parker’s Heritage Collection, the 13th edition consists of 75 specialty barrels that were charred for a full minute and a half, as opposed to our traditional 40 seconds. These “Level 5” barrels were aged for 8 years, 9 months on the seventh floor of Rickhouse Y. There, the heavier char allowed the whiskey to penetrate further into the barrel, extracting deep notes of spice and wood, and resulting in an elevation of the spicy, distinctive character of our traditional Rye Whiskey mashbill. It is bottled without chill filtration at 105 proof.

The Basil Hayden's 10-Year Rye mashbill features a slightly spicy, yet approachable, rye resulting in an elegantly complex taste profile and a golden honey hue. Bottled at 80 proof, this light, yet full-flavored, rye is sure to please any palate.

This right here is an extraordinarily snazzy expression from Woodford Reserve bourbon, which has been allowed a three-year-long finishing period in XO Cognac casks! This allows plenty of time for the Cognac casks to impart a wealth of rich fruit and mature oak notes to the top quality whiskey.

In celebration of the spirit of Mardi Gras and the pride of Louisiana, this expression of Kentucky Owl Straight Rye Whiskey has been gently aged for 11 years before sleeping a further year in a selection of rare Bayou XO casks to create and mature into Rye Whiskey of outstanding quality and flavor.

Straight Rye Whiskey has experienced a strong resurgence in the American whiskey landscape, yet Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was making this style more than 100 years ago. This small batch, Bottled-in-Bond 100 proof straight rye whiskey pays tribute to the former Distillery owner with a unique rye whiskey reminiscent of days long past.

Woodford Reserve Distillery (Versailles, KY) has announced the release of its 2023 “Batch Proof”. Tipping the scales at 124.7 proof (62.35% ABV), it uses Woodford’s standard mash bill with direct barrel to bottle entry. The flagship brand proof being 90.4 proof, this is a sizable increase of nearly 40%.

The signature Straight Rye Whiskey from Overholt has increased to a 4-year age statement (from 3 year old, which has been discontinued). The 4 year age statement pays homage to Overholt’s 1942 original age statement and marks a return to the liquid’s historical roots. Old Overholt 4-Year Old is bottled NCF (Non-Chill Filtered) at 86 proof (43% ABV).

The 17th edition of the Parker’s Heritage Collection consists of this 10-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey pulled from 142 barrels.

The 100% malted rye mash bill imparts a delicate floral aroma, soft notes of vanilla, toasted rye bread, and a light finish of chocolate and warm spice. Malted Rye offers a well-rounded, lighter, approachable and refined taste profile.

This is already a delicious craft rye whiskey even before you factor in that it is only three years old. It’s bold, spicy, sophisticated, and packed with so many delicious rye-forward flavors that it doesn’t taste like a typical young craft rye whiskey. Instead, whereas many other young craft ryes tend to be boldly flavored with no end of herbaceous rye and young oak notes.

50% - Knob Creek Rye is patiently aged for 7Yr in deeply charred barrels and bottled at 100 proof to give it the signature Knob Creek full flavor. At 7Yrs, Knob Creek Rye achieves its optimal flavor profile resulting in the perfect balance between sweet and spicy.

For this first-of-its-kind collaboration from Buffalo Trace Distillery, Traveller brings together the collective artistry of 8X Grammy Award-Winning Artist Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller, Harlen Wheatley.
