Limited Edition

Rye The Lightning 2022

RYE THE LIGHTNING is crafted from Kentucky straight rye whiskeys, which are then vatted and transferred for finishing in Madeira wine and Caribbean rum casks for 2-14 weeks each. Master Distiller & Blender Rob Dietrich is well known for exploring bold finishes and balancing flavors – and this unique and approachable rye expression continues his journey of innovation. Bottled at 90 proof, RYE THE LIGHTNING™ makes for the perfect sipper.
