Grand Traverse Distillery Ole George Double Barrel Rye Whiskey is a premium expression crafted in Michigan, showcasing the region’s dedication to quality. Made with 100% rye, this whiskey embodies bold character and rich complexity, thanks to extended aging in French oak barrels. After its initial maturation, it rests for an additional 6 to 18 months, infusing the spirit with deeper layers of flavor.
On the palate, Ole George offers a seamless blend of spice and sweetness. Peppery rye spice is balanced by hints of smoky oak, caramel, and subtle vanilla, with a touch of dried fruit in the background. The influence of the French oak brings a smooth, slightly toasted finish, enhancing the warmth and structure of the rye.
This whiskey can be savored neat or on the rocks to appreciate its nuanced profile, but it also shines in classic rye cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. Whether enjoyed straight or in a mixed drink, Ole George Double Barrel delivers an elevated drinking experience.
