Crafted from pure rye grains, this rye is the first barrel-aged whiskey distilled in Mason County, Kentucky in over 70 years.

Five Fathers Pure Malt Rye Whiskey is crafted at the Old Pogue Distillery exclusively from malted rye grains. "Five Fathers is a tribute to our forefathers - all five of them" says Paul Pogue, the master distiller at Old Pogue Distillery. Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are milled and mashed before being fermented and then distilled through a copper-pot still.

Following distillation, the rye is matured in 53-gallon, charred, American oak casks for just over two years. As a result, the rye has an aroma of black pepper, cloves, ginger and spicy rye that give way to thick notes of oak, caramel and vanilla on the palate. Bottled at a robust 110 proof, the rye whiskey is noticeably spicy but mellow.
