About this bottle

Locke + Co Aspen Aged Single Barrel Rye is the cask-strength, single-barrel version of this Colorado distillery's flagship rye. Each barrel spends three to six years in new 30-gallon oak from Minnesota's Barrel Mill, then goes into its own drum with hand-cut, hand-charred aspen discs for about eight more months, and is bottled unfiltered at barrel proof, between 126 and 134 depending on the barrel. Floral, fruity rye spice and figs lead the nose. The palate hits with a strong rye punch before settling into vanilla, pepper and leather, and the finish is rich vanilla with leather and oak. A bottle for rye drinkers who like it big and undiluted.

How to drink Locke + Co Aspen Aged Single Barrel Rye

Start with a small pour neat, then add water a few drops at a time; as the proof comes down, the vanilla and fig open up. It also makes a forceful Sazerac or Old Fashioned if you keep the sugar light.

What the verse says

Good to know

Questions about this bottle

What proof is Locke + Co Single Barrel Rye?

It is bottled unfiltered at barrel proof, so each barrel differs. Locke + Co lists the range as 126 to 134 proof; the exact proof is on the label of each bottle.

What does aspen aged mean?

After three to six years in new 30-gallon oak barrels, the whiskey from each barrel rests for about eight more months with hand-cut, hand-charred discs of aspen wood, which Locke + Co uses to round out the rye.

Should I add water to cask-strength rye?

Yes, a few drops at a time. Water lowers the alcohol burn at this strength and lets the vanilla, fig and leather notes come forward.

What cocktails suit a cask-strength rye?

A Sazerac, an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan all work, as long as you go easy on the sugar and vermouth so the rye spice stays in front.
