Rye DownUnder, Batch 16, is a 7 year Indiana-distilled Rye Whiskey with a mashbill of 95% rye, 5% malted barley finished in Apera Sherry Casks imported from Australia by Kelvin Cooperage.

At a robust barrel proof of 110.2, this full bodied and full-flavored rye whiskey offers spicy rye flavors rounded out by sweet fruit and nuttiness from the sherry barrels. 2,168 bottles of this batch were produced. SRP for Batch 16 is $185.

“Sherry Finished Rye is one of my favorite barrel finished American whiskeys,” said Chief Blending Officer Bill Straub, “I just think the flavors of the sherry compliment a good citrusy, spicy rye perfectly.”
