“A blend of straight ryes rested in bourbon barrels, with dill and coriander over orchard fruit and caramel.”
Tasting notes
- nose
- fresh dill, coriander and green peppercorn over deep caramel, with crisp apple, toffee, raisin and a touch of barrel char
- palate
- full and buttery, with brown sugar, candied apple and cinnamon, then dried apricot and fig, cedar and black pepper
- finish
- medium-long; black pepper and oak hold on with salted caramel, candied pecan and honey, the wood softening into sweetness as it fades

Why it's craft
Double Rye blends straight ryes distilled in Southern Distilling's own Statesville stills with rye bought from another distillery, then finishes the blend in bourbon barrels. The family-owned company, founded by Pete and Vienna Barger in 2013, ferments in open-top stainless steel and distills on Vendome copper pot and column stills. Sales of Double Rye support Purple Heart Home, which helps veterans.
