RACONTEUR RYE – BATCH 1

Released in May 2024

Raconteur Rye Batch 1 was a carefully crafted combination of three Indiana distilled 95/5 rye whiskeys: a conventional straight rye, a straight rye aged in a new toasted oak barrel, and a straight rye finished in a second-fill Mizunara oak cask that previously held 16-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. These whiskeys, each aged a minimum of seven years, were batched in a proprietary ratio to accent their signature attributes.
