Detailed Description
Tatoosh Rye Whiskey is crafted from a mash of 70% rye and 30% corn. “The corn smooths it out, adds a bit of sweetness,” says Turner. “It’s smooth and clean.” Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are mashed and fermented before being distilled through a copper pot still. Following distillation, the rye whiskey is matured in 53-gallon, American oak casks with a #4 char.
