Kentucky Bourbon & Rye – Whiskey from the Heart of the USA

Kentucky is considered the home of bourbon worldwide. The mild climate, the limestone-filtered water, and the tradition of the distilleries make the state the most important whiskey region in the USA. What is created here is not a mass product, but artisanally matured character in the glass – full-bodied, warm, and unmistakably American.

Bourbon and Rye – two styles, one region

Kentucky Straight Bourbon impresses with its typically round, soft nature: the new charred oak barrel gives the distillate depth and warmth, while the corn-based grain provides a natural sweetness. Rye Whiskey from Kentucky takes a different path – the high rye content brings more spice and bite, a nice contrast for those who like it a bit drier.
