Alley 6 Rye Whiskey 750ml

Alley 6 Craft Distillery in Healdsburg, California brings a winemaker's sensibility to American whiskey — and the results are genuinely distinctive. Their Rye Whiskey is a true small-batch expression, twice distilled in direct-fire, traditional copper alembic pot stills from a rye malt mash composed of 78% rye and 22% aromatic malted barley. Each batch is aged a minimum of 18 months in heavy charred new American white oak barrels.

The use of copper alembic pot stills — more common in Cognac and Armagnac production than American whiskey — imparts a richness and texture that sets Alley 6 apart from column-distilled ryes. This is Sonoma County craft whiskey at its most thoughtful.
