Larrikin Bourbon Co. Decade Rye Cognac Cask
Decade Rye Cognac Cask is crafted from just 10 barrels of 100% Alberta Rye, aged for 10 years, and finished in a 105-gallon cognac cask.
According to a brand press release, these barrels of rye were originally “destined for a Russian oligarch”. This did not materialize following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Larrikin Bourbon Co. Master Distiller, Greg Keeley, rescued the barrels. When he was later given a cognac cask, he saw an opportunity.
The resulting rye whiskey is a rich and decadent display of rye spice, dried fruit, and oak, bottled at 122.4 proof.
