Castle & Key Restoration 2024 Batch 1 Rye Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey | 101.5 Proof (50.75% ABV) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Restoration 2024 Batch 1 is the latest release from Castle & Key’s flagship rye series, crafted in historic Frankfort, Kentucky. Using a mash bill of 63% rye, 17% yellow corn, and 20% malted barley, the whiskey is aged for approximately 3–3.5 years in charred new American oak. The distillery’s innovative “pod” blending system groups barrels by flavor character—such as citrus-forward or spice-rich—and recombines them for a meticulous final blend. This edition is bottled at 101.5 proof, offering bold rye personality with balanced oak depth.
