Bender’s Rye

$57.99

Batch 6 is a limited release that celebrates our 10th year in business and has a unique approach to aging that creates a whiskey you won’t find anywhere else. Atypical to a category that usually ages in char 3 barrels, batch 6 is aged in char 5 barrels giving this batch a more unique, robust, and full-bodied flavor.

A blend of both five year rye and five year corn whiskey, batch 6 is crafted to warm the discriminating palate. The rye gives the whiskey a spicy character with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and molasses. The corn rounds out the pallet with sweet overtones extending the finish.
