Often described in the Spirits world as the ultimate whiskey for Rye fanatics, this beauty from the ‘Hoosier State’ checks in at 49.5% alcohol. The winner of a gold medal and the “liquid gold” award from famed Spirits critic, Jim Murray, it’s a straight Rye Whiskey made with a mashbill of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% malt with sweet and spicy notes of vanilla, pepper, orange and toasted oak.
“Brilliant nose.. Fabulous clarity… there is an argument that if you wanted to present someone with a bottle of bourbon to show them all its main and unique characteristics, this should be the one” – Jim Murray

This is a beauty courtesy of one of the oldest, most prestigious and hottest distilleries anywhere. These Stagg Jr. releases have absolutely exploded in popularity over the past few years, behind incredibly quality, super high demand and not nearly enough supply. The newest release is Batch 16, bottled at 130.9 Proof and released in the Spring of 2021. It has great notes of Rye spice, freshly baked bread to pair with double chocolate chip cookies and some cherry and peach notes. This is the last of the Stagg Jr. releases and really went out with a bang. This is one of my top 2 or 3 favorites of the collection, and it’s still early- I think this only improves with a little more time.
I just re-tasted this beauty last week when it came in and was blown away by how this one turned out. It’s not that I’m surprised, but I’ve been waiting for so long, I almost forgot what I had chosen! Not only that, but I can’t believe this is nearly 123 Proof (122.7). You really never get any of the heat. I wouldn’t have thought it was over 105 Proof smelling and tasting it. It leads with inviting aromas of burnt caramel, hazelnut, and allspice mix with flavors of dried fruit, caramel, vanilla, and light rye spice. The finish is warm and spicy with subtle and smooth notes of vanilla and oak. This is a great one.
Get dad the ultimate Father’s Day gifts this year – I guarantee he’ll love it. This is an incredible deal packaging together some of my best of my recent bourbon selections including two private barrels I picked out in Kentucky when I went in January. Every 4-pack consists of 1 btl. each of the following:
1 btl. Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey
1 btl. Redemption Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
1 btl. Bulleit Nicholas Single Barrel Reserve #2 Bourbon Whiskey
1 btl. Yellowstone Nicholas Single Barrel Selection Bourbon Whiskey
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.
