About FEW Cask Strength Rye Whiskey
This cask-strength edition of an already fantastic award winning whiskey is drawn from a single barrel and bottled at cask strength. The mash bill is 70% rye and 20% corn, and 10% two row malt. Every step of the distillation process takes place onsite. After the grain is mashed and fermented, the wash is distilled through a 1,500-liter Kothe copper-pot still. The rye is aged in custom-made oak barrels from Minnesota. "The cooper I eventually chose to make our barrels won 24 out of 25 categories at a spirits competition I visited," Hletko says. The #3 char on the barrels gives FEW rye hints of allspice and peppercorn, which are followed by notes of dark caramel and cinnamon. After aging the rye, Hletko and his team of distillers fill and label each bottle by hand.

About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
