Grand Traverse Ole George Double Barrel
Rye
Grand Traverse // Michigan, USA
Part of the US's burgeoning grain-to-glass movement, the Great Traverse Distillery in Traverse City, Michigan opened in 2007, using local grains to make a range of distillates. It distills and ages all of its own spirits. The Double Barrel Ole George is a limited-production variant of its standard straight rye whiskey, which is made from a 100% rye mash bill.
This offering is transferred into a toasted French oak cask for further maturation for 6-18 months; hence, the "Double Barrel" moniker. Non-chill-filtered, it's bottled at 46.5% ABV.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.
