WhistlePig Distillery
Rye whiskey is one of the most challenging whiskeys to make. It requires a delicate balance of ingredients and a skilled hand to bring out its complex flavor. The process begins with milling the rye grain. This is followed by mashing, which converts the starches in the grain into sugar. The next step is fermentation, during which yeast breaks down the sugars and produces alcohol. Finally, the whiskey is distilled to remove impurities and aged in oak barrels to impart flavor.
Each of these steps must be carefully monitored and adjusted to produce a world-class Rye whiskey. Fortunately, we have a team of expert distillers who are dedicated to crafting the perfect Rye whiskey. As a result, our Rye whiskey is consistently rated as one of the best in the world.
About Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Single barrel rye whiskey, a beloved American spirit with a rich history dating back to the colonial era, is renowned for its bold flavor and spicy character. In the late 1700s, rye whiskey was immensely popular, with even George Washington owning a rye whiskey distillery capable of producing 11,000 gallons per year. In the early 1800s, Pennsylvania outpaced Kentucky in whiskey production, with one county alone producing enough rye whiskey to provide a barrel to every two people in the United States.
