Two James Vermouth Finish Catchers Rye Whiskey

Two James Catcher's Rye Vermouth Finish is one of the most conceptually clever whiskeys Detroit has ever produced — a 100% Michigan rye whiskey finished in sweet vermouth casks as a direct, delicious homage to the Manhattan cocktail. As an homage to the Manhattan cocktail, Two James takes their award-winning Catcher's Rye whiskey — named after J.D. Salinger's iconic novel, a fitting tribute from a distillery that considers using 100% rye mash without barley its own act of rebellion — and finishes it in sweet vermouth casks. The concept is pure genius: if the Manhattan is already a classic combination of rye and sweet vermouth, why not let the cask do the work? Inspired by J.D. Salinger's American classic, Catcher's Rye uses 100% Michigan-grown rye — the "Pennsylvania style" grain bill — aged a minimum of four years in new American oak at char 3 or 4, then finished in vermouth casks before bottling at 98.8 proof. The nose opens with bright intense rye spice, fresh mint, caraway seeds, blood oranges, dill, hints of tarragon and thyme, while the palate delivers orange marmalade on rye toast, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and pepper — the vermouth finish adding a layer of cherry, dried fruit, and sweet herbal complexity that makes every sip taste like a perfectly built Manhattan. Forget the bitters. Add a rock. This is all you need. Buy Two James Catcher's Rye Vermouth Finish online with fast shipping right to your door.
