Old Louisville Whiskey Co. Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold small-batch release crafted in Kentucky, the historic heart of American whiskey. Distilled from a mash bill of 51% rye and 49% malt and aged for over six years, this limited batch blends eight carefully selected barrels to create a powerful yet refined expression. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 118 proof (59% ABV), it delivers the raw character and depth rye whiskey lovers seek.
The aroma opens with nutty hazelnut sweetness layered with pine and warm baking spice. On the palate, a wave of sweetness quickly evolves into rich rye spice that coats the mouth with full-bodied intensity. Despite its high proof, the finish remains surprisingly smooth and balanced.
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its complexity, this handcrafted straight rye rewards slow sipping and thoughtful appreciation. A rare and distinctive bottle for collectors and rye enthusiasts alike.
