Amador Distillery makes a unique rye whiskey that is nothing but 100% rye on the mash bill. Most other brands have other grains mixed in with their rye mash bill, but that is not our style. Many visitors to the tasting room start with a "I don't like Rye" conversation, but soon find out that this spirit is very different. We use the heat of our warehouse and lack of humidity to extract deeper flavor from the barrels which works well with the deep rich sweet flavors of the rye grain. We add no flavors, colors, sugars or anything else. The Barrel Strength bottles are 120 proof for intensity and focus on flavor. Other than a small amount of proofing water, all you get is a true rye flavor that shows what our barrels produce.
