Rye whiskey - the first whiskey to be distilled on this continent - became a defiant spirit in every sense during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791, when the farmers who made it rebelled against our new government's attempt to tax it. It was this heroic act of defiance that forever defined and ensured our cherished right to protest. The tax eventually stood, but the rebels' spirit lives on in this Defiant Rye.
