Ransom Rye, Barley, Wheat Whiskey

Ransom’s Rye, Barley, Wheat Whiskey isn’t just made of the three grains. It’s actually made of six: unmalted rye, malted rye, malted two-row barley, un-malted Ransom estate-grown six-row barley, crystal malted barley, and malted wheat. It is pot-distilled in alembic copper stills, and 24 percent redistilled from whiskey originally column distilled in Lawrenceburg. It is aged in used French Oak wine barrels (which formerly held pinot noir) for a minimum of two years, and it clocks in at 93.4 proof.

Ransom Rye, Barley, Wheat Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: A sweet, single malt nose gives way to a complex, challenging, enticing mix. Bananas, pine needles, soil, wet stones, and even a slight edge of paint thinner. This all works really well together.

Palate: That foresty feel carries through on the palate. It does start pretty hot, but finishes smooth, with a dryness of grape skins. In fact, it tastes like a very dry red wine that has whiskey in it. There is a chalkiness that doesn’t exist in the mouthfeel, but does so on the palate. The mix of grains, that kind of dustiness of crunchy cereal comes through. It’s quite curious and gratifying.

Finish: Lingering.
