Whiskey lovers, meet your new obsession. Raconteur Rye is back with a limited-edition release that is as bold as beautiful. Crafted exclusively for The Prime Barrel, this 8-year-old rye whiskey is a meticulously crafted blend of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, finished for 9 months in rare Mizunara casks, with a respectable 125.4 proof. The result? A whiskey that’s rich, complex, and utterly unforgettable.
This isn’t just any rye—it’s a symphony of flavors. Imagine bold caramel, zesty citrus, and a hint of exotic spice dancing on your palate. The Mizunara cask finish adds layers of depth with notes of sandalwood, coconut, and a smoky elegance. Every sip is a journey, from the velvety mouthfeel to the long, satisfying finish.
What Makes It Special?
This limited release (only 250 bottles available!) is a blend of three exceptional whiskeys:
- 95/5 Indiana straight rye whiskey aged in new charred oak.
- 95/5 Indiana straight rye whiskey aged in 48-month-cured toasted oak.
- 95/5 Indiana straight rye whiskey finished in a Mizunara cask.
But we didn’t stop there. The blend is finished in a Kentucky rye barrel from a prominent Bardstown producer, adding a final layer of richness and complexity. It’s a whiskey that’s as unique as it is delicious.
