John Emerald Purveyors series Double Wood Rye 750 ml

John Emerald Purveyors Series Double Wood Rye ages rye whiskey first in new American oak, then finishes it in used sherry casks, the same double-wood approach the distillery applies across its Purveyors Series. That sherry finish is less common for rye than for Scotch or bourbon, and it layers dried fruit sweetness onto rye's natural spice rather than leaving it purely oak-driven. Expect caramel, toffee, and baking spice, with the rye's pepper and grain character still coming through underneath the sherry influence. The finish runs smooth and slightly sweet rather than dry. This bottle suits rye drinkers who want to see how a sherry cask finish reshapes the category's usual spice-forward profile, from a small Alabama distillery doing its own barrel experimentation.

How to drink John Emerald Double Wood Rye

Sip it neat to taste how the sherry cask sweetens the rye's natural spice, or build it into a Manhattan for a fruitier twist on the classic. Both let the double-wood finish show.
