Sonoma County Distilling Co.'s West of Kentucky Bourbon is released annually, and this particular release is made from a mash of American yellow corn, Canadian winter wheat and malted barley from Wyoming. Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are mashed and fermented before being twice distilled through a copper-pot still. The still, which is heated by a direct flame, requires a great degree more attention and skill than modern, steam-heated stills. In addition, the uneven heat produced by the central flame source produces a more unique and more textured whiskey.
Sonoma County Distilling rejoices in their grain-to-glass technique, with everything done in house, using alembic pot distillation. This 100% rye (both malted and unmalted) is aged in new charred oak casks, then finished in used casks for mellowing.
This cask strength Rye Whiskey is made the way it was meant to be, by using a mash exclusively of rye and distilled in traditional copper pot stills over a direct-fire. Aged in new charred American oak barrels. Our most popular Whiskey in the collection.
