RACONTEUR RYE – BATCH 2

Released in September 2024

The second batch of Raconteur Rye carries the name “Brazen” on its label, not as an assertion of boldness, but as a reminder that every whiskey has a unique story to tell. Typically, producers bend and shape that story to align with a predetermined flavor profile. But every once in a while, if we as blenders listen to our palates and trust in Mother Nature, astonishing things can happen. That’s what Brazen means to us, and we can’t wait to share its story with you.
