Lyons, Colo. A new Four-Year Rye Whisky launches from Spirit Hound Distillers this month. The latest release from the Colorado-based distillery is a part of the Spirit Hound Barrel Program, a unique community-based celebration of the distillery.
FOUR-YEAR RYE WHISKY
The whisky is distilled the Spirit Hound way on two hand-built-from-scratch stills designed by Engelhorn and constructed by Engelhorn and his partners. It has been aged for more than 4 years in new, fully charred American oak barrels before being bottled in an unblended “single-barrel” fashion. With a grain bill made up of 70-percent rye and 30-percent Colorado-sourced malted barley, this is a high-rye whisky with strong notes of black cherry and stone fruit.
