Town Branch Rye

Town Branch Rye is a spicy, robust whiskey style that has regained popularity in recent years, even in Kentucky, where bourbon reigns supreme. Distilled by former President George Washington and popular across saloons until Prohibition, the history of rye whiskey is as rich as its flavor and aroma. Made from a mash of fermented rye grain, barley and corn, rye whiskey has a more assertive flavor than bourbon – its sweeter counterpart. The high percentage of corn in bourbon lends the sweeter, rounder taste to it.

Unlike many other Rye whiskeys, this was actually distilled by the bottlers, Alltech in Lexington, Kentucky. The mashbill is around 55% Rye, 30% Corn and 15% Malted Barley.
