Breckenridge Distillery has announced the launch of its first Rye Whiskey.
The new expression, bottled at 100 proof, is crafted from an 80% rye mash bill and produced at 9,600 feet at the Colorado distillery.
“Rye whiskey has always been one of our favorites,” said Bryan Nolt, Founder of Breckenridge Distillery. “Traditional Rye fans talk a lot about how many of today’s available offerings lack the big rye notes with a perfect spice balance that we enjoyed in decades past.
We wanted to bring back classic rye, bold but in harmony, devoid of the angular oak notes you typically encounter these days,” Nolt added. “We believe we nailed this one. We’ve spent years refining what a Colorado whiskey could be, and this represents some of the most deliberate, exciting work we’ve ever done as a distillery.”
Breckenridge Rye Whiskey is now available for $39.99.
