Description

Sonoma Distilling Co. have brought another 100% rye whiskey, made up of 80% unmalted Canadian and Californian rye and 20% malted rye from the UK, giving it a spicy and dry flavour. It is then aged in charred oak and ex-rye barrels - kind of like rye². These guys are super traditional, with all their whiskies produced using the method of direct-fired copper pot distillation. As a rye whiskey, this is probably wicked in cocktails like an Old Fashioned.

USA

The Range of American whiskies is ever growing but also the volume produced.America is one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of whiskey. The range of different types distilled in the USA vary greatly, each with their own unique ingredients or production methods. The six different categories are bourbon, Tennessee, rye, corn, wheat and blended whiskies. Whiskey was introduced to America by the immigrants and pioneers that went over to the continent from Scotland and Ireland in the 1700s. These settlers were forced to use different raw materials to produce their whiskey due to the different climate and soil conditions. This included mixing different grains together during the mashing process depending on what was available. Over time, these different recipes of grain mixtures have evolved so that now, American whiskey bears very little similarity to Scottish or Irish whiskies. The industry has strict laws about the naming or categorising of the whiskies.
