Iowa Legendary Rye Gold Label Three Barrel Reserve is an authentic Prohibition-style rye made to a historically accurate 1931 recipe, bottled at 51.5% ABV (103 proof).
It is distilled from organic rye grain and cane sugar with purified water and yeast.
Its label calls it an authentic Prohibition rye, honouring the whiskey made in Iowa during the dry years.
The Gold Label is a three barrel reserve, and each bottle is hand-numbered by batch and bottle.
The gold, vintage-style label and its 1931 story make it a fine gift for a whiskey lover with an eye for history, and at 103 proof it has plenty of spice and character.
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.
