This was a lofty experiment that worked. The results of this 100% rye mash bill, matured in used Uncle Nearest barrels before being bottled at 100 proof, keeps with our tradition of creating some of the most awarded whiskeys in the world.

This whiskey is aged more delicately then your typical American Whiskey. In wine making, the use of toasted and lighter char oak barrels is preferred to allow the liquid to mature and retain the delicate flavors of the grape. We apply the same philosophy in the barrels we select to age our whiskey. Results in a delicately aged whiskey and a reliably smooth whiskey.

Nearest Green was the first known African-American Master Distiller. Affectionately nicknamed Uncle Nearest by his friends and family in Lynchburg, Tenn., Nearest is credited with helping perfect the globally recognized Lincoln County Process, which is the only thing that distinguishes Kentucky Bourbon from Tennessee Whiskey (other than geography). This unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal was named after the county where Nearest lived and made whiskey.

Rye is known for its peppery bite, a spicy splash of flavor that washes over the palate with every sip. Springbook’s Adirondack Straight Rye Whiskey is big, bold, and spicy. It’s full of the flavor and complexity that deserning Rye Whiskey drinkers are searching for.
