Proof
90 Proof
Aroma
Fresh-baked bread leads into caramel, toffee, and light brown sugar, followed by hints of cinnamon, oak, and baking spice. As the aroma opens up, notes of dried fig, honey, and banana come through.
Taste
Our flagship rye starts with sweetness, with hints of cherry pits and vanilla before the spice of the rye comes in on the tip of the tongue. The mouthfeel stays soft and smooth.
Mid-palate, there are subtle notes of caramel and golden maple syrup, along with tobacco and cinnamon notes. It becomes buttery smooth and well-rounded, balancing the sweet and spicy characteristics.
Finish
A clean finish with notes of ginger and black pepper spice, followed by moderate warmth and a dry, sawdust-like bite.
Aging Process
Our flagship Aspen Aged Rye Whiskey is aged for three plus years in new 30-gallon oak barrels from The Barrel Mill in Minnesota, using char levels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Once that aging is complete, we combine the barrels in larger tanks.
We then finish the whiskey with hand-cut, hand-charred aspen discs from the mountains of Colorado, allowing it to continue aging for an additional eight months.
Finally, we blend the tanks for batch consistency before proofing and bottling the whiskey.

Taste Rating – 4 out of 5 Stars
” Locke + Co. Flagship Rye (90 proof; $60-$69 SRP) is aged in new 30-gallon oak barrels from the Barrel Mill of Minnesota for over two years, then finished with hand-cut and charred aspen wood discs for another eight months. It’s also a bit hot, but unfolds beyond the barrel sweetness and rye spice to incorporate banana, cherry, ginger and a whisper of earthy tobacco.”
