Uncle Nearest Full Proof Rye Whiskey
Whisky/Whiskey, American Whiskey, Full Proof, Rye Whiskey, Single Barrel, Brands, Uncle Nearest, AlcoholBottled at Full Proof, this single barrel rye is what other ryes work hard to grow up to be.

Each of our inaugural barrels hails from New York, where they aged in new American oak for a minimum of four years after a short stint in B.C., where they were born.
These barrels began as a lofty experiment in 2017. Was it possible to create an ultra-smooth whiskey, with flavor galore, made from 100% rye? That was the question. The answer took a while but was well worth the wait: hell yeah.
