This Kentucky straight rye whiskey, bottled at a robust 115 proof, represents nine years of patient aging in a single hand-selected barrel, capturing the intense spice and complexity that only cask strength can deliver.\n\nBorn from the craft of American Bourbon Company in the heart of Kentucky's bourbon country, this single barrel expression showcases the distillery's commitment to traditional rye whiskey production.
