Castle & Key Distillery is excited to announce the third installment of the Restoration Rye series through its Restoration Rye 2021 Batch #1. The new release continues to pay tribute to the restoration of the historic property, which was once the iconic Old Taylor Distillery, originally built over a century ago.
“With the first batch of Restoration Rye for 2021 being released just before the start of summer, it was blended with the intent of highlighting the softer notes of our rye whiskey,” says Jon Brown, Quality Manager at Castle & Key. “Many of the barrels chosen for this offering were those that expressed higher levels of fruity and floral esters and had lower levels of wood char and baking spice. This resulted in a smoother whiskey for the warm weather, to be enjoyed on its own or in a summer cocktail.”
The Restoration Rye 2021 release features one batch with unique flavor profiles created from a blend with 80 barrels. During the blending process, the barrels are grouped into pods with specific sensory profiles.
20,500 bottles of Restoration Rye 2021 Batch #1 is available for purchase at Castle & KEy and in stores in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia for $39.99.
