Company Distilling recently announced a new entry in its experimental line, the Seismic Rye Single Barrel, a straight rye whiskey finished with cherry wood.
A statement from Company Distilling says the distiller prides itself on paying homage to their community roots in East Tennessee, and Seismic Rye fits right in with this.
It’s named after monitoring station AS107, established in 1978, built in the Tuckaleechee Caverns of Townsend, TN. It was designed to measure and report seismic activity for the eastern half of the United States.
“Being based in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, we knew that wood finishes would lead our exploratory efforts,” said Company Distilling Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. “We know it may not be earth-shaking, but certainly hope the first sip rocks your world,”
Seismic Rye Single Barrel clocks in at 107 proof, 53.5% ABV. The distiller’s notes show the cherry wood finished rye opens with aromas of rye grass, black licorice, oak, and vanilla with the addition of dark cherry, black pepper, and leather flavors. It finishes with warm and lingering hints of toasted cherry and oak wood.
Seismic Rye Single Barrel is now available at Company Distilling’s tasting room and bottle shop in Townsend, Tennessee, along with the addition of a premium tasting experience. Visitors can book a premium tasting and check out Company Distilling Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Maple Wood, Cask Strength Bourbon, and Seismic Rye Finished with Cherry Wood.
Kris Tatum, president of Company Distilling, said, “Few people get the chance to do a tasting with an internationally renowned and award-winning master distiller and leave with a bottle they filled themselves. It’s an opportunity to gather around and make a memory that will last a lifetime.”
The experience is $150 and is offered on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays in December.
