This collaboration is a blend of two distiller’s interpretations of Empire Rye, a style of rye whiskey specific to New York agriculture and distilleries. This blend includes 4 barrels of pot and column New York rye distillate and presents with a nose of honeycomb, salted caramel, lemon peel, and lavender, a rich palate of toffee, vine fruits, nectarine, dill seed, and a warming finish of barrel spice, dark chocolate, and a lingering sweetness.

Empire Rye is a category specific to New York that requires distillers in the state to use state-grown rye (at least 75%) aged for a minimum of two years with a barrel entry proof at no more than 115.
