The Gospel Straight Rye Whiskey is made with single-sourced 100% Australian (specifically, Victoria) unmalted rye and embodies the rich spice and complexity of traditional rye whiskey while carrying a distinctively Australian edge. A really unique approach to rye that delivers something fun and unexpected. The Gospel say that they strictly follow the rules of Straight’ whiskey—no additives, no shortcuts, just time + oak + craft and as Australia doesn’t have the same regulations as the rest of the world this one is aged for a minimum of jut two years. Maturation does happen on an accelerated schedule down here though and that, coupled with the heavily toasted new American oak barrels means you get a lot of flavor and depth from such a young whiskey. Well regarded on the award scene and a flavor profile you’ve probably yet to experience, this one is worth a try.
