Filibuster Rye 750ml
| Description: | Rye Whiskey is the quintessential American whiskey. At the turn of the last century, distilleries flourished in the east especially in Western Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. Rye was the grain of choice, as it made light, spicy whisky that was fabulous neat, or in a cocktail the original Manhattan recipe calls for RyeâŚthink sweet and spicy. When Prohibition became the law of the land in 1920, most of the distilleries that made rye whiskey were forced to shut down. Spirit production moved underground, and corn was widely utilized, as it was abundant and cheap. Corn whiskey became the new normal, and Rye was largely forgotten, except when depicted in Hollywood westerns -no self-respecting cowboy would be caught dead drinking anything else!. Today top-quality American Rye is being demanded by whiskey drinkers once again, and Filibuster is making sure their voices are heard! We blend small batches of traditionally-crafted spicy young rye whiskey with a bit of barrel aged bourbon for balance, and let em talk it out for a few months in wine-seasoned French oak casks before bottling. The result is our Dual Cask Rye a unique whiskey that showcases Ryes firey spice, but is uncommonly smooth going down. This unique process takes more time, and cost more money, but we think the results speak for themselves. Filibuster: Be Heard! Region Description. Wineries exist in all fifty states, but the most predominant (and best) wine comes from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State, with New York gaining a foothold in the industry. American wines make up about 75% of all wine sales in the Us. The appellation system uses the term Ava (American Viticultural Area) to determine where wines were produced, but grape varieties can be planted anywhere in the country. American wineries generally use varietal labeling, and government regulations require that the variety on the label must make up at least 75% of the blend (in Oregon it's 90%). The words reserve, special selection, private reserve, classic, and so on have no legal definition in the Us. Some wineries use these terms to indicate their better wines; others use the words as a marketing tool to move lower quality wines off the shelf. |
