TX Whiskey recently announced the launch of its High Rye Texas Straight Bourbon, the second expression in its TX Experimental Series.
High Rye Texas Straight Bourbon carries a unique mashbill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malt. Each batch of High Rye Bourbon was aged for more than five years in American oak 53-gallon barrels. Bottled at 121.4 proof, High Rye Straight Bourbon gives drinkers the freedom to select their favorite profile by adding or not adding water.
“Our second experimental release follows our focus on grain and its flavors,” says TX Whiskey’s Head of Whiskey Science, Ale Ochoa. “This unfiltered High Rye Bourbon (21% rye) release dives into the role of rye as a flavor grain in bourbon, rather than being the sole grain as in the first TX Experimental Series release. While the rye spice shines through, the mellowing character of the corn, and the slight sweet aroma from the malt can be experienced as well.”
Only 1,200 bottles of TX Whiskey’s High Rye Texas Straight Bourbon are available to purchase for $39.99 at Whiskey Ranch through the click & collect program.
