Ranger Creek .44 Texas Rye
Rye
Ranger Creek // Texas, USA
This grain-to-bottle whiskey is made using 100% rye and is aged in used bourbon barrels; as such, technically it is not a rye whiskey, but rather a whiskey made from rye mash. This is aged for 13 months in small barrels.
Like the rest of their Small Caliber series, this too is named for a firearm; the Walker Colt .44 itself named for Captain Samuel H Walker of the Texas Rangers and Samuel Colt, the gun-inventor.

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.

Tasting Notes
"Cedar, barrel spices, and hay are found along with a raw grain profile. Digging a little deeper cherry pie and classic pepper notes are found. At 94 proof, the whiskey is very spice driven on the palate, but without a rough edge to it. Dried herbs and young grain is on the mid-palate. The aftertaste leaves you with char smoke, fitting given the name."
