Northern Rye No.03 Released
September 15, 2024—Central Lake, MI
A Captivating Blend of Cherry Blossom and Rye Tradition
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Northern Rye No. 03. This third expression in the limited quantity series unites flavors of whiskey and northern Michigan’s most famous fruit: the cherry.
Northern Michigan is one of the world’s leading producers of tart cherries and No. 03 has fully embraced it by creating a blend that encapsulates the essence of a cherry harvest. What makes it totally unique is that we have chosen to focus not on the fruit itself, but on more subtle and interesting components including cherry blossoms, un-charred cherry tree wood, and Mammoth cherry brandy barrels.
The tremendous complexity in this blend begins with a rye fraction first aged in bourbon barrels, then left to mature for another 30 months in Mammoth cherry brandy barrels, and finally given a short exposure to natural cherry wood staves. To capture the delicate oils and floral essence of the cherry blossoms, they were frozen and steeped in a chilled blend of 16-18 year rye. This cold-infused fraction imparts an elegant aromatic layer to the long-aged wood fractions.
Tasting notes. Bright Montmorency tart cherries and dates on the nose leading into cinnamon spice and luscious and full notes of vanilla and cola, with a warm lingering finish of fresh baked cherry cobbler and brown sugar.
Availability: No. 03 is available from our six tasting rooms and from fine retailers throughout Michigan and Illinois.
Northern Rye No. 03 is now available at all Mammoth tasting rooms through select local retailers. For more information on Mammoth Distilling and to place a distribution order for our products, visit www.MammothDistilling.com.
