• This bottle the Old George Single Barrel Rye: 
  • This is our Rye Whiskey pulled from a single barrel right at cask strength after being aged for four to five years. The high proof brings out the sweeter toasted oak notes balanced with the earthy flavor from the Rye, along with a punch on the back of the palate from the cask strength.
• They make a lot of different products ranging from 
  • Chipotle Vodka 
    • Our Wheat Vodka infused with chipotle peppers to create a smoky and spicy flavor. This vodka is perfect for Bloody Mary lovers who like a little heat.
  • Isles O’Rye
    • Locally grown rye and peated malted barley from Scotland join forces to merge American rye spice with the richness of traditional peated single malt whiskey.
