Detailed Description
Purple Label is the only handcrafted, 100% sweet rye, mashed, and distilled on-site masterpiece being made in the world today. It is made using Iowa Legendary’s historically accurate world-famous Prohibition Era 1931 recipe. But that is not enough.Iowa Legendary takes their 93 pt rated white rye that is already saturated with the caramel and vanilla, and put it in a 15 gallon American Oak cask for up to 18 months. After the first 18-month maturation process has been completed, they have their international multi-gold/double gold award-winning black label ready to be sold.Although by international spirits competition judges’ standards that is perfection, they say not yet. Their fifth-generation master distiller selects the exceptional barrels of black and sends them back into Iowa Legendary’s proprietary pot/reflux stills that carve out the finest features of their black label spirit. While leaving behind the flavor for the second new 15-gallon barrel to double down on their search for the best rye on the planet.Here is where the real magic happens, the double-distilled spirit digs deep into the second barrel for up to 18 months and what comes out is the experience you will never have if you have not tried Purple Label Rye. The finished product is dark and thick like your finest coffee and shiny in color like a newly minted penny.Hot yet smooth, thick caramel overtones, warm and smokey, with a rounded mouthful for a balance of weighted flavors that continues to build on your pallet for hours after you have had your first taste. Bottle at 121.2 proof. This is not just your top-shelf bottle.
