Coopercraft Coppercraft Straight Rye 750 ml

Coppercraft Straight Rye comes from Coppercraft Distillery in Holland, Michigan, a Lake Michigan shoreline distillery that runs both copper pot and column stills on site. Made from a rye-forward mash finished with corn and malted barley, it's matured in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years to meet the straight whiskey standard. Expect the spicier, drier profile typical of rye — oak, baking spice, and caramel rather than the sweeter lean of a corn-heavy bourbon. It's a Midwest-distilled rye built for both neat sipping and classic rye cocktails, from a distillery that does its own distilling rather than sourcing from elsewhere.

How to drink Coppercraft Straight Rye

Build a Sazerac or a classic rye Manhattan — the spice in this mash bill is exactly what those cocktails are designed around. Neat is fine too if you want to taste the pot-and-column-still character without anything else in the glass.
