in the world producing this kind of spirit. Here’s how they explain what it is:
As opposed to other rye whiskeys- which are quite common- Cedar Ridge uses malted rye in its grain bill. To malt, the rye grains are soaked in water to germinate, then given a blast of hot air. Malting the rye generates an enzyme that is naturally helpful with the mashing process and adds weight and an extraordinarily complex flavor profile of toast and biscuit to the whiskey.
Sounds pretty fascinating if you ask me. Information I’ve been able to pull up on this one suggests it runs for around $40 a bottle and it is only available it looks like at this point from the distillery directly, and since they don’t ship, you better live in the area or know someone who does. Due to production capacity restraints, the folks there are saying only 65 cases will distributed each month through April of 2015.
