Layered and complex, this is the first release of Dave Phinney’s highly anticipated three-year-old Rye Whiskey.
Sourcing
Each barrel is hand-selected for its unique attributes by Dave. The youngest Rye in the blend is three years old. Tiny lots are procured from Tennessee and each barrel brings personality and intrigue to the final blend.
Barrels
Aged for a minimum of three years in new charred American oak barrels and then uniquely finished in wine barrels from Dave’s Grenache project in Maury, France.
Water
The mature Rye is titrated to 90 proof with pure, pristine water from Dave’s high elevation property in Alexander Valley in Northern California.
Mash Bill
51% Rye, 45% Corn, 4% Malted Barley
Profile
Intense and exciting on the nose with appealing notes of orange peel, clove, and candied ginger. Creamy and velvety with bright white pepper, berry compote, and honey. The finish is persistent with layers of exotic spice and toasty vanilla.
