Iowa Legendary Rye distils in a 1920s-style copper pot still and sources its ingredients from Carroll and Crawford counties in western Iowa, the heart of the region's famous bootlegging history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt over 120 proof, the Purple Label is the boldest bottling in the Sextro range, built for those who enjoy rye's characteristic spice at full strength. A few drops of water will open up the grain and oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handsome bottle with its purple label and portrait is a great gift for rye lovers and collectors of American craft whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste it neat first, then with a splash of water, or use it to build a robust Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRye was one of America's most popular whiskeys before Prohibition, and during the dry years western Iowa, Carroll County in particular, became known for its bootleg rye. Craft distillers in the region are reviving that heritage today with full-flavoured rye recipes. At this strength Sextro Purple Label also shines in stirred cocktails, where it holds its own against vermouth and bitters and keeps its spice even with dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iowa Legendary Rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple Label, Patriot Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 121.2 proof (60.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak; copper pot still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carroll County, Iowa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat with water on the side, or in a Manhattan or Sazerac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Iowa, by Iowa Legendary Rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is Sextro?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLorine Sextro, granddaughter of a Prohibition-era Iowa bootlegger, whose family recipe inspired the whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is bottled at 121.2 proof, or 60.6% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sextro Rye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023251566901,"sku":"VWS200431256","price":166.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-3525.webp?v=1793652999","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/sextro-rye-purple-label-patriot-edition-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
