Rod & Hammer's Reserve Rye Whiskey

Rod & Hammer's Reserve Rye Whiskey is a bold, elevated expression of rye crafted for those who appreciate intensity and refinement. Distilled with a high rye mash bill and aged longer for added depth, this reserve release delivers a rich, spice-driven profile layered with caramel sweetness and oak complexity. Extended time in new charred American oak barrels allows flavors of vanilla, dark fruit, and baking spice to mingle with rye’s signature peppery kick, resulting in a whiskey that’s both powerful and perfectly balanced. Handcrafted on California’s Central Coast, it’s a testament to Rod & Hammer’s dedication to premium whiskey-making.
