Master Distiller’s Reserve Toasted Malt Rye

Our Toasted Malt Rye offers a refined take on a corn-forward rye whiskey, built on a mash bill that highlights the warm, nutty character of toasted malted barley. As the sister release to Roasted Malt Rye, this expression leans into a lighter, more nuanced malt character, showcasing how toasting unlocks subtle sweetness and elegance compared to the deeper roast of its counterpart.

Chosen for the Master Distiller’s Reserve, this release reflects a precise selection of barrels that best capture the character of the RW-3 mash bill. Each is presented as a single barrel, allowing the natural variation and individuality of every cask to shine through.

Distilled grain-to-glass with a commitment to quality at every step, Toasted Malt Rye balances approachability with depth, completing a distinctive pair of joint releases that highlight the impact of roasted versus toasted malt.
