Freeland Spirits - Straight Rye Whiskey
Mashbill - 95% rye
Blend - 5-year Rye
Barrel - Charred American Oak
Finish - Magdelena Rum Barrels
In March 2020, we transferred 4 five-year old Rye barrels into Magdelena Rum barrels, where they rested for two years (having a much better pandemic experience than the rest of us). Not only is this a great collaboration among distillers, it is also a divine tasting experience with spice from the rye meeting caramelized pineapple notes from the rum barrel. Only 600 bottles were produced of this one-time release.
Thick caramel syrup drizzled over ice cream, hints of marzipan and caramelized pineapple.

One of few women owned and operated distilleries,
Jill Kuehler founded Freeland Spirits in Portland, Oregon. Master Distiller Molly Troupe studied biochemistry before earning a Masters Degree in Distillation from Heriot Watt in Scotland. Molly commands perfection with every spirit she orchestrates. Local rancher Cory Carmen grows the grain in Wallowa Valley Oregon, carefully rotating her crops and seeking out new varieties to grow.
Freeland Free Spirits program celebrates female-identifying, transgender, and gender-nonconforming Oregonians who are busting through the glass ceilings and soaring. These are people who think and act in an uninhibited way without worrying about so-called rules or norms. We might call them non-conformists, rule-benders, iconoclasts, mavericks, or bohemians. We might say they march to their own beat, to their own muse. We appreciate them for their abilities to help their community, to create beauty, to be original, to blaze trails, and to celebrate unabashedly.
