NORTHERN RYE NO. 01: The Premiere Release
Northern Rye is a style of whiskey created by Mammoth Distilling that combines North American traditions with old-world techniques to create a spirit showcasing character from both grain and oak. The result is a new expression of whiskey. One that explores the nearly endless possibilities of complex rye grain character while balancing the structure, flavor and depth that comes from oak. Every blend of Northern Rye will be uniquely crafted though new combinations of these methods, techniques and traditions and each release will be produced in limited quantities. We see Northern Rye No. 01 as just the first chapter in a long story that will be told with each new one-of-a-kind release. Stay tuned for Northern Rye No. 02!
What's In This Bottle?
Northern Rye No. 01 contains a blend of 14% straight Michigan Wheeler rye aged in first-use, char level 3 and 4 Minnesota and Missouri white oak barrels, and 86% 15, 16 and 17-year-old rye from Alberta, Canada aged in second- and third-fill American casks. These whiskeys were then married in a series of very small blends to create the layered, nuanced character unique to this premier release of Northern Rye.
