Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh rye bread, cinnamon, and honey greet the nose. Subtle notes of walnut and dried fruit add depth, with a hint of vanilla lingering in the background.

Palate: Sweet and floral flavors take center stage initially. The rye's spiciness then emerges, bringing cinnamon and black pepper. Nutty undertones reminiscent of toasted walnuts complement the spice, while a touch of caramel provides balance.

Finish: Long and warming, with persistent rye spice. The finish evolves into a pleasant interplay of lingering cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle oakiness. A gentle sweetness remains, reminiscent of honey-drizzled toast.

High Wire Distilling's Revival Rye is crafted using 100% Wrens Abruzzi rye, an heirloom grain variety grown in the Carolinas. What's unique about their process is that they use the rye in its raw, unmalted state, allowing the grain's natural cereal sweetness and complex nutty flavors to take center stage in the final whiskey.

High Wire's Revival Rye is made from 100% Wrens Abruzzi rye, an heirloom grain that's been grown in the Carolinas since the 1700s. This rare variety was nearly lost to history before being revived specifically for this whiskey.

Unlike most rye whiskeys, Revival Rye uses unmalted rye grain. This unconventional approach preserves more of the grain's natural oils and flavors, resulting in a uniquely rich and complex taste profile.

The distillery partners directly with local farmers to grow their rye, ensuring complete control over the grain from seed to spirit. This farm-to-glass approach allows them to harvest the rye at its peak flavor, often just days before distilling.
