Non-distilling producer Cooper Spirits a few years back introduced Hochstadter’s Vatted Straight Rye, a blend of rye whiskies sourced from all over North America. It is now again going under the Hochstadter’s brand for an even older expression that’s called Hochstadter’s Family Reserve.

Hochstadter’s Family Reserve, according to those behind it, is a 16-year-old expression that’s limited in scope, with only 7,500 bottles released that each contain a 123.8 proof, cask strength spirit. It is made from what’s described as 100 percent “farm grown rye grain” that’s been aged for 16 years in new char American oak barrels. It is sourced from an undisclosed distillery.
