Black Feather American Straight Rye is a smooth, small-batch rye made from a bond of two mash bills, sourced from Indiana, finished with Rocky Mountain water and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
Black Feather was founded by three action-sports personalities who switched from sports entertainment to spirits: Jeremy Rawle and Travis Pastrana of the Nitro Circus franchise and Rob Dyrdek. Their straight rye blends a high-rye mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley with a second mash of 51% rye, 45% corn and 4% malted barley, aged in charred white oak casks, balancing bold herbal complexity with an easy-going finish. It has earned Silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 89 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, eucalyptus, vanilla and a touch of apple cider lead the nose. The palate brings traditional rye spice softened by honey, toffee and caramel, and the finish is medium-length, balanced and clean.
An American straight rye made for everyone.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
