Mash bill
A blend of several whiskeys, so no single grain split.
95% rye and 5% malted barley from Bardstown Bourbon Co.; 95% rye and 5% malted barley from Sagamore Spirit; and 52% rye, 43% corn and 5% malted barley from Sagamore Spirit. Two are near-all-rye recipes and one adds a large share of corn, which sweetens the blend. Pursuit prints all three recipes on the label.

Why it's craft
The second maturation here is in new French oak, toasted lightly and charred heavily, and it leaves the rye's brightness intact while adding cherry and berry fruit. Pursuit Spirits was founded by the hosts of the Bourbon Pursuit podcast and does not run stills; it blends rye whiskeys from partner distilleries in two states and prints the three recipes on the label. The whiskey is sourced, and the bottle says so.
