Exclave Small Batch Rye is an award-winning blend of rye and corn whiskey aged more than three years, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Every drop of Exclave Rye is an homage to the forgotten contributions the Black community has made to the distilling arts. Exclave Spirits pays tribute to the lost stories of Black people in American spirits, and this rye embodies the skill and sophistication of Black American spirit producers.
The whiskey is rich with notes of vanilla, luscious hints of chocolate and a long, evolving spice finish. Rye brings the spice and corn brings a rounder sweetness, and three-plus years in oak tie them together.
It is a meaningful gift for whiskey lovers who value the history behind the bottle.
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.
Rye whiskey was America's original whiskey style, and its peppery spice is the backbone of classics like the Manhattan.
Blending rye with corn softens the spice with a rounder sweetness, making the whiskey approachable neat.
Small batch whiskeys are blended from a limited number of barrels for a consistent, carefully chosen profile.
Three years in new charred oak builds vanilla and caramel to balance the rye's spice.
