True Story Amburana & Sherry Cask Finish Rye Whiskey

Straight Rye Whiskey | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

True Story Volume 2 Rye starts as a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 5–8 years in new charred American oak. It’s finished for 2–12 months in Brazilian Amburana hardwood casks, followed by maturation in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. This additive-free process brings together warm spice, dried fruit sweetness, and rich oak structure.
