Castle & Key Single Barrel Restoration Eureka Whiskey Club Rye DSP-KY-18 750 ML

Castle & Key Single Barrel Restoration Eureka Whiskey Club Rye is a single-barrel rye whiskey from Castle & Key Distillery in Woodford County, Kentucky, a historic distillery whose original grounds date to the 1880s and were restored and reopened in the 2010s. This bottle was selected specifically for the Eureka Whiskey Club, carrying the distillery's federal permit designation DSP-KY-18 on the label. Since it's a single-barrel release, the flavor is unique to this barrel rather than a blended standard batch, and Castle & Key's rye program is known for a spicier, more assertive style than their bourbon line. Expect black pepper and rye spice with oak and dried fruit rounding out the finish.

How to drink Castle & Key Eureka Whiskey Club Rye

Pour it neat to taste this specific barrel's character — club selections like this one are meant to be evaluated on their own before deciding on a mixer. A rye Manhattan works well too if you'd rather build a cocktail around the spice.
