Coppersea Single Barrel Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Rye Whisky

In 2015, Coppersea was one of the six founders of Empire Rye, a set of rye whisky standards that pay an homage to New York State's pre-Prohibition style rye whisky. An Empire Rye whisky needs to conform with strict standards, including that 75% of the mash bill is New York rye grain. The remaining 25% must also be from New York but can be any grain. Single Barrel Straight Rye is the first release in Coppersea's line of experimentation with barrel finishes and this marriage with the famous, sweet Spanish wine is particularly interesting. Aged for 2 years in new American oak casks, Single Barrel Straight Rye is then finished in ex-Pedro Ximénez Sherry Wine Casks for 6 months. Bottled at 96 proof, it boasts notes of cacao nibs, tobacco leaf and plum. Best enjoyed in classic rye cocktails, straight over ice or neat.

Distillery Information

At Coppersea Distillery, which is situated near Holy Cross Monastery on a bluff above the Hudson River, “heritage distilling” includes a green malting process which has been little used in the past 300 years. While most distilleries purchase their grain already malted and dried, Coppersea floor malts its grain — all of which is sourced locally — at the distillery and is one of only a handful of distilleries to still use this technique.
