About this bottle
Castle & Key Restoration Straight Rye Whiskey comes from the restored Old Taylor Distillery grounds in Woodford County, Kentucky, one of the more dramatic distillery revivals in the bourbon industry — the original 1887 building sat abandoned for decades before Castle & Key reopened it. Each year, the distillery selects its best barrels from that season and blends them across a series of small batches, so the exact profile shifts release to release. This one uses a rye-forward mash bill of 17% corn, 63% rye, and 20% malted barley, giving it a spicier, drier character than a typical bourbon-leaning whiskey. It's built for both neat sipping and classic rye cocktails.
How to drink Castle & Key Restoration Rye
A Sazerac or Rye Manhattan lets the 63% rye content carry real spice into the cocktail. Neat is worth trying too, since each year's batch has its own specific character worth tasting on its own first.
