Its master blender, Murphy Quint, approaches every barrel as different, with its own strengths and limitations to discover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most rye whiskeys, Cedar Ridge uses malted rye in its mash bill. To malt it, the rye grains are soaked in water to germinate, then given a blast of hot air. Malting the rye generates an enzyme that is naturally helpful in the mashing process and adds weight and complex flavors of toast and biscuit to the whiskey. The mash bill is 85% rye, 12% corn and 3% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is alluring and complex, with baked apples, honey, roasted almonds and caramel, accented by clove, allspice and nutmeg. The palate follows with a lush fruit and caramel core and waves of brown spice, oak, hints of leather and black pepper. Medium to full bodied, it is vibrant, with a bright acidity that keeps it in balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey has earned Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2016), Gold at the International Craft Spirits Awards (2016) and 91 points at the Los Angeles International Spirits Competition (2016). A rich, spicy rye that works as well neat as it does in a classic cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baked apple, honey, roasted almond, caramel, clove.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit and caramel core, brown spice, oak, leather, black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and balanced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedar Ridge Distillery, Swisher, Iowa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight rye whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85% rye (malted), 12% corn, 3% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a splash of water, or let its spice lead a Manhattan or a Sazerac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCedar Ridge uses malted rye, which adds toast and biscuit flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher, Iowa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e85% rye, 12% corn, 3% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Ridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68121015288117,"sku":"VWS_200423903","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-45151.webp?v=1794261270","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/cedar-ridge-straight-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
