Celebrating a decade of whiskey, Wyoming Whiskey is marking the occasion with the release of its 10 Year Anniversary Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
In honor of the anniversary, founding Master Distiller Steve Nally and Master Blender Nancy Fraley have barrel selected and batched a 10-year-old rye bourbon that reflects 20 of the rarest casks at the distillery that were filled in November and December of 2011. It is the oldest product ever released by Wyoming Whiskey.
“Over the last ten years, these barrels have quietly evolved into something extraordinary. ” said Wyoming Whiskey Co-Founder David DeFazio. “10 Year Anniversary Edition is in a class of its own. We are blown away by the quality and complexity of this product. It’s memorable.”
Ten years ago, DeFazio and Brad and Kate Mead launched their flagship Small Batch bourbon. Since then, every drop of Wyoming Whiskey carries with it the character of the region and has become the Whiskey of the West. Cattle ranchers and attorneys by trade, the trio packed their ambition and headed to Kentucky where they went knocking on the door of Bourbon Hall of Famer, Steve Nally. They already had the land, water and grains they needed to produce bourbon, they just needed the leadership and knowledge of a world-renowned distiller to put the pieces together. With little convincing, Nally became Wyoming Whiskey’s founding distiller.
“We are proud to honor our roots in this state with an exceptional 10-year-old whiskey created by the fusion of Wyoming water, Wyoming grains and Wyoming weather. We will always distill our whiskey the right way, not the easy way,” said Brad Mead, Co-Founder of Wyoming Whiskey.
Wyoming Whiskey 10 Year Anniversary Edition Rye Bourbon features a mash bill of 68% corn, 20% rye and 12% malted barley, and is 103.4 proof. It is available in-store in select US markets including California, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, New York and Wyoming for $199.99.
