Single Estate Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey

Minden Mill Distilling is releasing its Single Estate Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey nationwide. 

Coming in at 94-proof, this non-chill filtered four-year-old whiskey is crafted with grains harvested from local fields and distilled at Minden Mill’s distillery, which was recently named Nevada Distillery of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition. Master distiller Joe O’Sullivan produces Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey using a mash bill of 80% rye, 10% soft white wheat and 10% estate-malted barley, according to the distillery.

“Very few producers own the full process from grain to glass, and that’s where Minden Mill Rye starts to stand apart. We don’t just distill the whiskey – we grow it,” said O’Sullivan in a news release. “Unlike most rye whiskeys, you won’t find any spice bombs here. It’s far more savory and balanced than most people expect. This mash bill was designed to highlight the candied orange peel character that is our house style.”

Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye is distilled through a combination of a single Headframe continuous stripping still and a Christian CARL hybrid still, according to the distillery, both housed in a former 100+ year-old creamery onsite. The whiskey is aged in a combination of Seguin Moreau New American and French oak barrels with a #3 char in traditional wooden rickhouses calibrated to mimic the temperature and humidity of Kentucky’s Nelson County.

Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey is available nationally with an SRP of $45 and online at mindenmill.com.
