  • Aged 11 years in new, char #4 American oak barrels from Independent Stave Company’s Kentucky cooperage
  • Barrel #6226 yielded 127 bottles

“This oak-heavy 11-year rye leans into orange marmalade, black tea, and vanilla spice. Less bright than Barrel #9392, Skurnik’s 8-year rye selection, it trades freshness for depth in the form of wood, sweet spice, and roasted peach. A mature, structured rye that highlights extended barrel aging.” —Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio
