Wright & Brown Rye
Wright & Brown is a craft grain-to-glass distillery in West Oakland using centuries old methods to create exciting new California spirits that stand the test of time. Much of their non-GMO grain is sourced from their family farm in Humboldt County.
All milling, mashing, distilling, bottling, and aging are all painstaking done in-house to ensure that each part of the process is executed with the utmost care. This includes details like using a high percentage of malted barley so they are able to ferment without the use of external enzymes, preserving the purity of their whiskey.
The Rye is then barrel-aged for at least 3 years in #3 Charred American White Oak.
W&B's California Rye is unlike anything you’ve tasted before. The local terroir gives the whiskey a wonderful grassy quality, reminiscent of the golden rolling bay area hills with a bruleéd creaminess, and a dark fruitiness of figs and plums on the palate.
Nose: creme brûlée, chocolate and plum
Palate: cinnamon, cloves, dates, dried grass, white pepper
