Only 25 barrels of the whiskey were produced, comprising the brand’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey that was finished in ex-rum casks from the Caribbean for “at least” six months. Packaged in an “apothecary-style” bottle with a metal cup cap, the expression is available online through Reserve Bar and in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.
South Carolina-based Grain & Barrel also owns the Dixie Vodka brand.
Earlier this month, a coalition of nearly 100 American single malt whiskey producers urged the country’s Tax & Trade Bureau to establish a standard identity for the segment.
