Appalachian Gap Distillery starts with a mash of 100% rye — no barley, no other grains — which is a little extra work but results in stronger, more vibrant flavor. Double distilled, it is then aged in new American oak barrels for at least three years. They make just a dozen barrels a year.
Nose: Citrus, raisins, caramel, spice, a hint of vanilla.
Palate: Hints of toffee, notes of dark fruit, stone fruit, pepper, rye bread, spices and cinnamon. Quite a bit of heat from the high proof, but it is a clean heat. Finish is fruity and earthy with a hint of smoke, and a lingering and smooth finish.

BLENDED RYE WHISKEY 40% ALC/VOL
Balanced and bold, our Rye Whiskey blends 51% three-year-old Canadian Rye and 49% Kentucky Corn Whiskey for a brave tweak on a timeless taste. It’s the whiskey all other Cask & Crew whiskeys owe their success to. And as the one that started it all, it only makes sense that it has a finish you’ll never forget.
