Aging Process
Our Port Finished Rye showcases a distinctive blend of 95% rye grain and 5% malted barley. Aged for two years in 30-gallon new American oak barrels, this rye then experiences an additional eight months of maturation in aspen wood. To heighten its complexity, we take 59 gallons of our flagship rye before filtering and proofing it down. The final touch is a nine-month finishing period in 59-gallon Portuguese port barrels. This release is presented unfiltered and at cask strength, boasting a robust 123.24 proof.
