Using a single-varietal dark rye grown in fields across the Ohio River Valley, OYO Dark Pumpernickel Rye Whiskey joins the fast growing craft spirits movement as America’s first straight rye whiskey made from nearly 100% rye pumpernickel flour. Hand-crafted from scratch, our signature rye whiskey is made in small batches and barrel aged for 3+ years in full-size American oak casks. The result is a softly sweet, full-bodied, high-proof whiskey with notes of vanilla caramel, cinnamon, smoked oak and just enough pumpernickel spice to remind you that its a true american rye whiskey.
Middle West’s flagship wheat whiskey is a unique addition to the crowded field of corn-, rye-, and barley-based (blended) dark spirits. Made from 100% Ohio soft red winter wheat, OYO Whiskey is produced and aged in small batches and offers a one-of-a-kind flavor profile distinctive to its Ohio origins. The distillery uses single-source Ohio grains to emphasize regional “terroir,” and barrel-ages the whiskey in white American oak cooperage sealed with beeswax.
