This French finished rye is crafted from 100% rye grains grown in the verdant Pacific Northwest.
The third recently released 100% rye whiskey sourced from Canada, with the others being WhistlePig (50%) and Jefferson’s (47%). This one sells at a premium to the other two, but shows polish and is nicely rounded. Layers of sweetness (honeyed fruit, caramel, nutty toffee, maple syrup), toasted oak, cinnamon, evergreen, nutmeg, and a dusting of cocoa. Very distinctive!
Masterson’s Barley is crafted with choice Canadian barley and mineral-rich glacial water, and it’s double distilled, helping to preserve the barley’s full flavor. The whiskey is then aged in white oak casks for 10 years to mellow and refine. On the nose, you’ll discover a sweet sensation with hints of woody must, along with earth and oak. The taste is distinctly smooth, light and summery, featuring a fruit aftertaste that bursts in the mouth without being too powerful
