The Gospel The Gospel Straight Rye 700 ml

The Gospel is a straight rye whiskey produced by New Deal Distillery in Portland, Oregon, made with a high-rye mash bill that leans into the grain's signature pepper and spice rather than softening it with corn or wheat. As a straight whiskey, it's aged a minimum of two years in new charred oak with no additives, giving it a clean, honest profile of rye spice, baking bread, and light citrus over a backbone of vanilla and oak. It represents a wave of small, independent American distilleries making rye whiskey outside the traditional Kentucky and Indiana strongholds, with Pacific Northwest water and grain shaping its character. This is a straightforward, spice-forward rye built for drinkers who want rye's pepper and bite front and center rather than blended away.

How to drink The Gospel Straight Rye

Its spice-forward profile makes a classic Manhattan or a Sazerac genuinely shine—rye is the traditional base for both, and this one leans hard enough into pepper to stand up to sweet vermouth or an absinthe rinse. Neat over one cube works too if you want the spice unfiltered.
