Mash bill
- New York corn70%
- New York red winter rye15%
- New York malted barley15%
70% New York corn, 15% New York red winter rye, and 15% New York malted barley — a full Empire State grain bill. The red winter rye supplies baking-spice lift without tipping into Kentucky high-rye aggression, while the malted barley keeps body and pastry sweetness so six years of new oak do not dry the whiskey out at cask strength.
