Ampersand Vinea 8 Year Old Rye Whiskey

Ampersand Vinea 8 Year Old Rye Whiskey

Ampersand Vinea 8 Year Old Rye Whiskey is a masterfully crafted expression that unites the spice and structure of American rye with the rich sophistication of European wine cask finishing. Aged for eight full years in new American oak barrels, this whiskey develops deep caramel and oak undertones before being finished in rare Cognac or Tokaji wine casks—infusing it with notes of honeyed fruit, golden raisin, and toasted spice.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Bright rye spice layered with orange peel, apricot, fig, and golden honey.
Palate: Complex and full-bodied, with cinnamon, toffee, and caramel balanced by notes of peach, sultana, and candied citrus from the wine cask.
Finish: Long, warming, and elegant, fading into oak, dried fruit, and subtle sweetness.

What Makes It Unique:
• Aged 8 years in new American oak for depth and smoothness
• Finished in premium wine or Cognac casks for luxurious dessert-like character
• High-rye mash bill delivers signature spice and bold flavor
• Bottled at a robust proof for intensity and complexity

How to Enjoy:
Enjoy neat or with a splash of water to open its orchard-fruit and spice layers.
Perfect for a refined Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, aged cheese, or spiced desserts.
