California Rye is a grain-to-glass straight rye whiskey from Sonoma County, made from 100% rye, including malted rye, and bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Spiegel founded Sonoma Distilling Co. in 2010, and the distillery has since been called a trailblazer among California whiskeys. The California Rye showcases its commitment to traditional methods: the mash is 80% unmalted rye with malted rye making up the rest, and the spirit is double distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills, which gives it a unique toasted character, before resting in new charred American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDried apricot and warm cinnamon spice rise from the glass first. The palate is spicy and herbaceous, with vanilla, allspice, white pepper, more dried apricot and a little walnut, and the finish brings a satisfying nuttiness with a gentle, chocolatey cocoa note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bold West Coast rye that stands apart from the Kentucky style.\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\u003eThe profile is distinctly West Coast: unapologetically spicy, naturally herbaceous and grounded by a subtle, chocolate-leaning finish that sets it apart from traditional Kentucky ryes, while the 93-proof bottling strikes a confident middle ground that is expressive and highly versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried apricot, warm cinnamon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, allspice, white pepper, walnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutty, with a gentle cocoa note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonoma Distilling Co., Sonoma County, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight rye whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% rye (80% rye, 20% malted rye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrels:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 proof (46.5% ABV)\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\u003eSip it neat or with a drop of water, or let its spice drive a Manhattan, a Sazerac or an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% rye, including malted rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirect-fired copper pot distillation gives it a toasted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e93 proof (46.5% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonoma Distilling Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68029487939893,"sku":"VWS200433607","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-27511.webp?v=1793730099","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/sonoma-distilling-co-california-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
