Product Details

We know that whiskey takes time. The journey began in 2014, and we barreled the first product in 2016. Each year we select the best barrels from the season to release as new batches which highlight different flavor profiles.

Tasting Notes:

Each batch of the Restoration Rye Whiskey is blended using a series of pods. Each pod is created by grouping barrels to create a sensory profile.

In this profile, the nose is light but informed by an enticing blend of wintergreen and a slight touch of baked cinnamon apple.

The sweetness fades slightly on the palate, with a balanced blend of apricot, chestnut honey, and brown sugar.

The finish hints at the cinnamon apple note but remains on course with the palate and is a touch too short.

About the Producer

In 1887, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr built a new kind of distillery destination in Millville, KY. Inspired by European architecture, the site featured a Castle, a classical Springhouse, and a sunken garden. What he built became the birthplace of bourbon tourism.

Prohibition forced the closing of the distillery in 1920. Over the next century, the property changed owners and occupants several times, eventually falling into ruin. In 2012, Will Arvin came across photographs of the abandoned distillery. He couldn’t stop thinking about its legacy and potential. He decided to visit the property to see for himself. By 2014, it was decided to purchase the Old Taylor Distillery.

First they had to rehab the property before they could start crafting spirits. Vodkas and Gins were first since they don’t require aging. This allowed them to supplement operating costs while the bourbon aged. They also began specializing in RYE.
