Crater Lake Reserve Rye Whiskey

Crater Lake Reserve Rye Whiskey is made with all American grown rye and aged three years in new American oak. Subtly sweet at the onset, rich notes of toffee give way to a distinct peppery finish. Its higher proof and pronounced rye flavor are the perfect match for complex cocktails or the serious whiskey enthusiast.
