New Riff Balboa Rye
$149.99
We don't get much of this heirloom Rye Whiskey from New Riff, but we are glad to grab what we can! The special Bottled In Bond Balboa Rye is made from a mash containing 95% Rye with the very same name.
From The Producer
"In addition to our flagship New Riff Bourbon and Rye, our distilling team has stretched their creative muscles over the years, producing a number of what we call "specialty whiskeys". Balboa Rye is one of the first specialties we made. Our corn farmer Charles Fogg has been growing heirloom rye on his family's farm for many years. His chosen variety was Balboa rye, an heirloom grain which dates back to the 1940s as a rye variety popular in Indiana. He offered it to us and we distilled it into rye whiskey, probably the first time in decades that Balboa has been made into whiskey and quite surely the only example on the market today.
Now it has grown up in the barrel! Typical of heirloom rye, the Balboa grain is a little smaller than modern varieties, with a lower output per acre of planting -- but it's no less flavorful for that! Our Balboa Rye whiskey offers shimmering notes of spiced fruit unique from our flagship New Riff Rye."
Penelope Four Grain Bourbon
$76.99
Penelope's flagship bottle is this Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which contains Corn, Rye, Wheat and Malted Barley. It is bottled at 40%.
Penelope Bourbon Bottling Company resides in Frankfurt, Kentucky, though this Bourbon was originally distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Hmm... Which Midwest Grain Distillery could this be a Product of? The fact that this whiskey is sourced is not a bad thing regardless - Penelope has quickly developed a reputation for being masterful blenders of the barrels they purchase, including with this Four Grain Bourbon. Indeed: the Indiana distillery this hails from doesn't actually have a four grain Bourbon Mash Bill. Instead, Penelope purposefully blends casks from two different mash bills together (one set containing rye in the mash and the other set using wheat as the secondary grain) to create this Four Grain Bourbon.
