This 100-proof Indiana rye delivers the bold, spicy character that earned American rye its reputation, with nine patient years in barrel tempering raw grain into liquid fire.\n\nFrom the grain fields of Indiana comes this testament to traditional rye whiskey making, where time-honored distillation meets innovative techniques. The Mallet embodies the craftsman's philosophy — that raw materials, shaped with skill and patience, become something greater than the sum of their parts.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charred oak, black peppercorn, dried orange peel, vanilla bean, clove spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye spice surge, caramel sweetness, cinnamon bark, toasted grain, leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering pepper heat, oak tannins, sweet tobacco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Rye Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndiana Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndiana, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBottled By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArcas Concepts LLC, North Charleston, SC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experience the full force of this 100-proof rye by the fireside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevates a Manhattan or Old Fashioned with bold rye character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Enthusiasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for those seeking authentic American rye tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e A conversation starter for gatherings of discerning drinkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does The Mallet Straight Rye Whiskey taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mallet delivers bold rye spice upfront with black pepper and cinnamon, balanced by caramel sweetness and vanilla from nine years in oak.
