Prichard’s Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of 95% select American rye grains and 5% malted barley. Once the grains have been harvested, they are mashed and fermented before being distilled through Prichard’s copper-pot still. Following distillation, the rye whiskey is aged in small, charred American oak casks for three to five years.
