6 Great Rye Whiskeys to Try Now
Whisky Advocate Magazine
by Whisky Advocate
1y ago
Bartenders love rye whiskey for the bold and spicy flavor it lends to cocktails, but rye is just as great for sipping neat or on the rocks. Plus, unlike bourbon, rye can be made anywhere in the world—Canada has a rich history of producing rye, while distillers on the world stage are crafting some excellent expressions as well—meaning there is an ever-growing diversity to the style. In short, rye is versatile and delicious, and earlier this year, we dedicated an entire issue to it. More recently, the Fall 2022 issue just hit newsstands this month, and features more than 130 whisky reviews in th ..read more

Old Town’s entire process, from milling to packaging, is done in-house. To reduce its environmental footprint, the distillery also sends its spent mash back to local farms for their livestock. Old Town ages its barrels in an uninsulated rickhouse, aiming for Colorado’s dramatic temperature changes to impart a unique flavor to its whiskeys. Founder and master distiller Jeremy Kempter started Old Town Distilling after falling in love with spirits and cocktails while running a nightclub, and decided to make his own.

Woody Creek Distillers: A Vodka Distillery Turned Whiskey Maker
Whisky Advocate Magazine
by Aimee Heckel
1y ago
Woody Creek started exclusively as a potato-vodka distillery, aptly located in the Roaring Fork Valley, which is excellent potato-growing country. The goal was to use local, in-season ingredients to create world-class vodka—and they did. In fact, Woody Creek even grows its own potatoes. But once potato season wrapped up, the distillery was idle, says David Matthews, master distiller and vice president of operations. So other spirits followed, including whiskey.  Woody Creek offers four whiskeys: a 100% rye mash, bourbon (70% corn, 15% rye, 15% malted barley), wheated bourbon, and a high-r ..read more
