Owing to two years in premium rye whiskey barrels this slightly sweeter blend of our Ryewine oozes with malt-derived complexities reminiscent of maple and enough oak to build a bedroom set. With a grist comprised of over sixty percent rye, Very Special Old Ryeway is deceptively balanced given its supermassive body. Enjoy now or store cold.

12 oz can. Thanks. ClarkVV Aroma shows raisins dipped in maple, with soft rye. The flavor is just wonderful. Maple, prune, plums soaked in rye whiskey. Pretty incredible amount of flavor.

2022 canned Jan 19, 2022, drunk 8/3/24. Clear dark amber mahogany. No head. Nutty, chocolatey, peppery, leaden. Just a hint of sweet, caramelly malt and rich barrel. No alcohol. Soft, malty, rich, mild. Dry and not boozey. Rich and juicy, chocolatey. Great acidity, deep, dry. Wow. They might be on to something here...

Intense, stingy woody and oaky with some vanilla, rye, caramel, toffee, syrup and earthiness. Quite heavy but tasty.

From can from MJ, many thanks! Chestnut brown with beige head that disappears fairly quickly. Semi-sweet, cola, quite a bit of rye, raisins, dates, touch of blue cheese. Sticky, slightly boozy sweetness. Great stuff!

Burk från Chicago, 2019. Ganska mörk, kastanjebrun med liten beige krona. Ryeway vriden ett steg till. Kolaremmar, mörk torkad frukt, rostat socker, rejäla slängar från Rye fat, bra värme. Stor kropp, något udda kolsyra. Stor och kladdig, mycket gott.
