Full Curl Limited Edition 9 Year Old is a straight rye whiskey aged nine years in new American oak barrels, bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof).
It sits at the top of Full Curl's rye range, more refined and integrated than its younger expressions.
Nine years in oak mellow the spice of young rye into complex, dusty oak and sweet notes.
The label honours the Dall sheep, whose horns grow into a 'full curl' at around eight years, much as this rye has grown into its own.
Full Curl donates a portion of its profits to the Wild Sheep Foundation and 2% for Conservation, helping restore wild sheep to their native range, making this a meaningful gift for outdoors lovers.
Limited editions like this one are released in small numbers, and older straight ryes have become some of the most sought-after bottles in American whiskey. At 100 proof the whiskey keeps plenty of body and spice, and nine years in new American oak add layers of caramel, toasted wood and dried fruit that younger ryes simply cannot match. It is a bottle to open for a special occasion or to share with a fellow rye lover who appreciates age.
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.
