In 1823, Robert Wilson established Highspire Rye Whiskey in Highspire, Pennsylvania. This 100% Rye Whiskey became one of the most popular whiskies of the pre-prohibition era. After prohibition, this brand vanished. This bottle marks the return of a great American Rye Whiskey. The whiskey is swiftly aged in used American oak wine barrels from California wine country, allowing enough time to introduce subtle flavors of oak and vanilla, create structure, introduce tannins and showcase the true flavor of 100% rye grain.
