Masterful Creation by a Bourbon Legend

From his early days at Seagram's Calvert Distillery to his transformative work at Four Roses, his journey has been characterized by a relentless pursuit of quality and innovation. Now, with the Cream of Kentucky Bottled in Bond Rye, Rutledge brings his unmatched experience to the realm of rye, presenting a whiskey that is both a nod to tradition and a testament to his mastery of the craft.
Tasting Journey
- Color: A captivating dark gold with hints of orange glints, promising a rich and complex experience.
- Aroma: The glass releases an intricate bouquet of freshly baked bread, honeycomb, kola nut, and overripe strawberries. Swirling it gently reveals layers of dill weed, spearmint, mineral water, sawdust, faint cayenne pepper, Golden Delicious apple skin, and a whisper of leather.
- Taste: On the palate, this whiskey unfurls with notes of honey-drizzled Golden Delicious apples and dill, underpinned by a cereal-forward warmth reminiscent of whole-grain oats and cornstarch. A mild cayenne spice transitions to dried strawberries and raisins, culminating in a finish that balances subtle spice with enduring honeycomb sweetness.
- Finish: Medium in length, the finish elegantly drifts towards a spicier profile, maintaining a delightful complexity that beckons for another sip.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Heritage
The Cream of Kentucky Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey is not just a drink; it's a piece of American whiskey history revived and reimagined. With only 70 barrels of 100% Rymin rye, estate-grown and distilled, this rare whiskey reflects Rutledge's unparalleled skill and passion for distilling. At a suggested retail price of $70, it offers an accessible yet profound tasting experience that honors its legacy while pushing the boundaries of what rye whiskey can be.
