Old Maysville Club Rye Whiskey

Old Pogue currently markets two bottlings: a bourbon and rye. Their Old Maysville Club Kentucky Straight Rye Malt Whiskey features a 100% rye mash bill that’s been malted. Generally speaking the malting process for rye is very similar to barley, and provides the same necessary enzymes for the fermentation process. They located the new distillery very near the original so as to take advantage of the ideal limestone-rich water and undoubtedly the fantastic view of the Ohio River as well.

Old Maysville Club Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh cherry cobbler pairs with the cereal note of malted rye. There is a balancing warm biscuit depth and green apple high note.

Palate: Green apple and (bitter) malt. Slight hint of cherries with a lot of oak.

Finish: Finishes with vanilla and some spice.

Distillery Information

The Pogue brand has a history dating back to around 1869. Its original distillery was Kentucky registered distillery number 3, in Maysville, Kentucky. However, the brand's distillery was shut down by Prohibition. It was revived after 18 years and then shut down again during World War II. The brand was then off the market for about 60 years. The brand name was revived around 2005 by descendants of the Pogue family, who re-launched the brand using whiskey purchased from another company before opening their own new distillery. The family established a new distillery in Maysville around 2012. In 2012, the company joined the Kentucky Distillers Association and the distillery became part of the newly launched "Craft Tour" of its Kentucky Bourbon Trail tourism marketing program.
