It was distilled at the Neeley Family Distillery in Sparta, Kentucky, and bottled by Old Hillside Bourbon Company.
It aged five years in new American oak.

Its black label with the bold Old Hillside lettering and hand-numbered barrel details makes it a collectible 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.
