FA Waldron Premier Straight Empire Rye Whiskey

FA Waldron Premier Straight Empire Rye Whiskey is a single barrel, small batch rye whiskey born from a mash of locally grown four-spike perennial rye and hand selected corn.   Utilizing pre-prohibition methods, FA Waldron Straight Empire Rye is thoughtfully barreled at just 107 proof.  Aged in new American white oak barrels, every barrel is toasted and charred to achieve a profile that provides a smooth, yet bold finish.  The predominant use of rye in this grain bill is what lends itself to its spicy, peppery notes, which can range from robust to a subtly floral finish.  This spice is often balanced by fruity, herbal, and sometimes even slightly earthy undertones.   Each barrel is harvested, proofed, and bottled at what the proof of that individual barrel indicates.  It’s these techniques and this attention to detail that gives every barrel of FA Waldron Straight Empire Rye its award-winning profile and its undeniably mellow pallet.
