Finger Lakes Distilling McKenzie Rye Whiskey 91 Proof

Riptide is CALI Distillery’s idea of a perfect small batch rye whiskey. It is 95% rye with just enough malted barley to drive the fermentation process. Cask strength, this 118 proof spirit has a beautiful amber color and an earthy overtone. The rich butterscotch notes of oak complement the underlying spice of the rye to make an incredibly smooth rye whiskey.”,”second”:”

It might seem like an odd choice, putting a distillery in the middle of a wine region. But if you think about it, it makes sense. For one thing, we have immediate access to the crop of one of the best grape-growing regions in the country. We even have our own vineyard in front of the distillery. The Finger Lakes region is also home to quite a few small farms, from which we get our corn, rye, barley, and the other grains and fruits that we use to make our premium spirits.

Finger Lakes Distilling is a NYS Farm Distillery, which means that were a small operation making a handcrafted product. It also means were able to devote all our attention to everything we make; we dont take any shortcuts. Our flavored vodkas and liqueurs are made in the traditional manner, by soaking real fruits in the spirit. We dont add extracts or synthetic flavoring to speed up the process. Our whiskies rest in oak barrels for as long as they need to, until they mature into the rich aged spirit we offer with pride.
