Noble Oak Double Oak Rye Whiskey

Rye Whiskey | 48% ABV | 96 Proof | 750mL | USA | Minimum 2 Years | Charred American White Oak | Port Wine Oak Stave Finish

Process & Profile

Noble Oak Double Oak Rye Whiskey begins with rye whiskey matured for a minimum of two years in charred new American white oak barrels, developing a foundation of vanilla, caramel, grain, and oak. It then undergoes Noble Oak’s distinctive secondary maturation process using port wine-seasoned oak staves sourced by the Master of Wood at Edrington.

Bottled at 96 proof, the additional oak and port wine influence builds upon the whiskey’s rye-driven character without covering its natural spice. The finished whiskey combines toffee, maple syrup, allspice, sweet brown sugar, green pepper, grass, and concentrated rye grain in a deep mahogany-colored pour.
