Bull Run Carlton Straight Rye is a craft rye whiskey from Bull Run Distillery in Portland, Oregon, made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, aged four years and bottled at about 90 proof.
The whiskey is named for the small Willamette Valley town of Carlton, home to Bull Run's second tasting room, and was first released to honour it. The distillery uses pure water from the Bull Run Watershed that supplies Portland.
The high-rye mash gives a traditional American rye with an excellent balance of sweetness and deep, warming spice.
A Pacific Northwest rye, it is great neat and excellent in a Manhattan.
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.
