Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey 750 mL
(Colorado) - [IWSC 95]

About this Whiskey:

Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Blended Rye Whiskey is more than a pour - it’s a journey into uncharted territory. Driven by rye’s bold spice and layered with heirloom blue corn, yellow corn, and malted barley, this first-of-its-kind mash bill delivers remarkable depth.

Bottled at barrel proof and left unfiltered, this rye opens with dried apricot, cinnamon, and toasted oak then yields to layers of vanilla, honey, and black tea. Crafted with a touch of Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Bourbon to achieve our signature flavor, this rye is best savored slowly - offering rugged warmth, an enduring finish, and the unmistakable taste of Smokeye Hill.
