Broken Barrel - Heresy Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
This Rye whiskey is distilled in Owensboro Kentucky – just like our bourbon. However, it is unlike any rye whiskey you’ve ever tasted. Charred French oak gives a woody body to the spirit, while ex-bourbon (still soaked from the previous tenant) and ex-sherry cask staves all join forces to create a fiery, yet balanced and smooth taste and finish. We use the same proprietary Oak Bill™ to embolden this rye whiskey and give it an uncommon and untraditional taste and character. Aged a minimum of two years.
Call it sacrilegious, call it untraditional, call it heresy—we won’t be offended. But trust us. Once you taste it, you may begin to question the tradition yourself.
The front end of the Heresy Rye has an abundance of sherry sweetness with a strong rye finish. Subsequent sips reveals summer fruits, hints of cinnamon and a touch of ginger. Warming wood body, walnut, and charred brown sugar
