What started as a story of a whiskey that could’ve been, turned out to be a rewarding exploration of what’s to come. Minor Case Rye Whiskey reimagines the pre-Prohibition style rye whiskey Minor Case Beam would’ve distilled in the late 1800’s, but then finished in cream sherry casks. Resulting in a unique, unmistakably smooth rye experience you won’t find anywhere else.

A 4-year rye whiskey finished in cream sherry casks, Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey represents a combination of bold and spicy pre-Prohibition style rye and a fresh perspective thanks to cask finishing. Resulting in a unique overlap of tradition and modernity, and a rye experience unlike any other.

Finished in cream sherry casks, Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey blurs the line between rye spice and sherry smoothness.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Earthy notes with sweet sherry.

"Minor Case Rye offers a soft yet complex and well integrated whiskey that will surprise you at how well developed it is...especially considering its age." - Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon

"Very soothing and supple, it’s a young rye whiskey that drinks a lot like a much older bourbon — the sherry perhaps working to counteract some of that classic rye spice and the brashness that comes with youth — and which offers tons of versatility as well as simple enjoyment." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"While this is unabashedly a rye, with flavors of cinnamon, black pepper, and oak, the sherry comes to the fore again in the guise of grape soda, sweet cherries, and chocolate." - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (87 Points)
