American Rye Single Cask Bottling

These American Rye casks are from Woodford Reserve Distillery, Kentucky, where they use 53% rye in their mash bill. The flavours emulate history’s original rye whiskeys, with strong peppery, spicy flavours in a sea of fruit and butterscotch. These casks develop interesting pepper, spice and butter flavours in our single malt scotch whisky.

The most common types of casks used to mature Scotch Whisky are ex-Bourbon barrels made from the most prevalent species of North American white oak, Quercus alba.

Capacity: 190 Litres
Oak Variety: Quercus Alba, American Oak

Released every 2 years as peated and unpeated spirit.

This single cask release was distilled 29th March 2019 using un-peated spirit then laid to rest in American Rye cask #19/307 for 5 years, 2 months and 25 days! Bottled in 2024 at 61.2% vol, Na Sia translates to 'The Six' in Gaelic.

TASTING NOTES

As well as the classic vanilla flavour that you get from this type of oak, we are looking for a spicier black pepper note and more of a butterscotch flavour in our ex-rye cask matured spirit. The barrels come from Woodford Reserve distillery in this instance.
