Lock Stock and Barrel 18 Year Old Straight Rye

Lock Stock and Barrel 18 Year Old Straight Rye is a sourced rye whiskey bottled by a California-based independent label, made from Canadian rye distilled at Alberta Distillers and imported for aging and bottling under the Lock Stock and Barrel name — the brand's 16 and 18 year rye releases are well known among whiskey enthusiasts for their high-rye-content mash bill and long aging. Expect dense rye spice, dried fruit and oak on the nose, a rich, full palate with real depth from nearly two decades in cask, and a long, warm, peppery finish. A well-regarded, mature rye outside the usual Kentucky and MGP sourcing.

How to drink Lock Stock and Barrel 18 Year

Sip it neat — 18 years of rye maturation deserves a slow pour rather than a mixer.
