Crater Lake Estate Rye Whiskey
Crater Lake Estate Rye Whiskey is a straight American Rye Whiskey that begins with just 14 acres of legacy rye grain and lava rock filtered water.
Grown, distilled, and aged entirely at our distillery in Bend, OR., this 100% rye mash is distilled annually in single batches and aged at least five years in the Central Oregon High Desert.
With only a few barrels produced each year, this is truly one of the world’s rarest rye whiskies.

Nose: Light, earthy, and woody notes combine to tantalize the nose with hints of the desert.
