Old Potrero Single Barrel Reserve is a 7-year-old straight rye whiskey from Hotaling & Co. in San Francisco, bottled from a single barrel at 130.32 proof (65.16% ABV).
It is made from a 100% malted rye mash, distilled in copper pot stills.
It is aged in extra fine grain American oak and bottled at full barrel strength, non-chill filtered.
Each bottle is hand-labelled with its barrel number, proof and age, so every barrel is its own release.
Old Potrero pioneered the revival of all-malted-rye whiskey in America, and this cask-strength single barrel is a bold, collectible pour for rye lovers.
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.
