Overview

More Info

Golden, Colorado's Golden Moon Distillery does rye a little differently: this batch rests at least six months in new American oak, then gets a second act in used French oak barrels that once held California port. That port cask leaves its mark — rye spice and clove up front, a creamy palate of vanilla, orange zest and pepper, finishing with dried fruit warmth. Built from a 60% rye, 34% corn, 6% malt bill and bottled at 100 proof. Pour it neat to catch the fruit-forward finish.
Tasting notes

Nose: Rye, fruit and sweetness.

Taste: Classic rye aromas like pepper and vanilla, along with a touch of cedar and rye bread.

Finish: The rye carries the flavor for a long time – fades out quietly with notes from the oak.

Golden Moon Distillery's Gunfighter Port Cask Rye brings a Colorado craft perspective to the port-finished rye category, adding layers of dark berry sweetness over the spirit's naturally spicy grain character. Fans of finished rye whiskeys find the port cask influence approachable and well-integrated, making it a pleasant sipper for those who enjoy the category but prefer a softer, fruitier profile. It is a solid regional craft offering with genuine finishing quality, though it lacks the wider recognition of more established names.
