What is Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye?
Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye is a whiskey that captures the essence of its Colorado terroir, using rye grain grown in the mineral-rich San Luis Valley.

Why do we love Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye?
Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye stands out for its unique "Bottled in Bond" designation and its use of heirloom San Luis Valley rye grain, which is grown at high altitudes in Colorado. This rye whiskey's distinctive character comes from its four-grain mash bill, including two types of malted rye, which creates a complex flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional rye whiskeys.
How do you drink Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye?
Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye shines when sipped neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complex flavors, but it also makes an excellent base for bold, spicy rye cocktails. This robust whiskey is perfect for cooler autumn evenings, pairing wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled meats, rich stews, or sharp aged cheeses that complement its peppery, warming character.

Nose: Dried grass, cracked black pepper, and hints of fennel seed greet the nose. There's a subtle undercurrent of caramel and toasted oak, with whispers of cinnamon and nutmeg adding complexity.
Palate: Rye spice takes center stage, accompanied by flavors of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Notes of dried fruit, particularly apricot and fig, add sweetness. A touch of vanilla and charred oak rounds out the profile.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering rye spiciness. Hints of clove and allspice emerge, along with a subtle mintiness. The finish tapers off with a pleasant dryness reminiscent of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye is crafted using a time-honored sour mash process, where a portion of the previously fermented mash is used to start the new batch, ensuring consistency and depth of flavor. What sets this rye apart is its use of heirloom San Luis Valley rye grain, grown at high altitudes in Colorado, which imparts a unique terroir and robust character to the final spirit.
