New York Distilling Company, Jaywalk Heirloom Rye Whiskey

75% Rye, 13% Corn, 12% Malted Barley. 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. Horton Rye is 1/3 the size of conventional commercial Rye The concentration of sugars results in a unique and delicious range of aromas and flavors that belie the assumption that rye whiskey is spicy. Hand-selected 7 year-old barrels bottled at Cask Strength.
