RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish is a Rye from the Phenomenal Spirits brand hailing from Canada.

What is RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish?

RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish offers a unique twist on traditional rye whiskey by aging the spirit in rum barrels, imparting subtle notes of tropical fruit and molasses to the spicy rye profile. Interestingly, this whiskey is produced by Savage & Cooke, a distillery founded by Dave Phinney, the same visionary winemaker behind the iconic "The Prisoner" wine blend, showcasing his talent for innovative flavor combinations across different alcoholic beverages.

Why do we love RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish?

RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish offers cocktail enthusiasts a tantalizing fusion of American rye whiskey's spicy backbone with the rich, tropical notes imparted by aging in Caribbean rum barrels. This unique spirit bridges the gap between whiskey and rum, delivering complex flavors of vanilla, caramel, and exotic fruit alongside rye's signature peppery kick – making it an excellent choice for crafting innovative twists on classic cocktails or sipping neat.

How do you drink RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish?

RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This versatile spirit also excels in spirit-forward cocktails, particularly those that traditionally call for whiskey or rum, and pairs beautifully with rich, smoky barbecue or decadent chocolate desserts, making it an ideal choice for cozy autumn evenings or festive winter gatherings.

Nose: Rich caramel and brown sugar lead, followed by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of tropical fruit. A subtle spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg lingers in the background.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. The initial sweetness of molasses and toffee gives way to flavors of dried fruits, particularly raisins and dates. Warm baking spices and a touch of cocoa powder add complexity. The rum influence is evident in subtle notes of banana and pineapple.

Finish: Medium to long. Pleasantly warm with lingering flavors of oak, dark chocolate, and a whisper of sea salt. The sweetness fades, leaving a dry, slightly tannic aftertaste with hints of leather and tobacco.

RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish is crafted by first aging rye whiskey in new charred oak barrels, then transferring it to rum casks for a secondary maturation period. This unique finishing process imparts subtle notes of molasses, tropical fruit, and warm spices to the whiskey, creating a complex and intriguing flavor profile that bridges the gap between American rye and Caribbean rum.

  • RY3 Whiskey Rum Cask Finish is one of the few spirits that combines the flavors of both American and Caribbean spirits in a single bottle. The whiskey starts its life as a rye, then spends time in rum barrels from Barbados, creating a unique fusion of spicy rye and tropical rum notes.
  • The "3" in RY3 represents the three-year aging process of the original rye whiskey before it's finished in rum casks. This extended initial aging allows the rye to develop a robust character that can stand up to the bold flavors imparted by the rum barrels.
  • Despite its rum cask finish, RY3 is still classified as a whiskey, not a rum. This classification stems from its base spirit being rye whiskey, which must make up at least 51% of the mash bill according to U.S. regulations. The rum cask finish is considered a flavoring technique rather than a change in the spirit's fundamental nature.

      Great Rye

      One of the best Rye's we've ever tasted. We've bought several bottles since discovering it at a restaurant in San JUan Capistrano California.

      Phenomenal rye. Rum maple pancake, nice rye spice. 100 proof makes it a great sipper and it be a great addition in some spirit forward cocktails. Decent price point as well. Definitely check this out.
