Minden Mill Distilling Announces Nationwide Release of Rye Whiskey
Minden Mill Distilling has announced the nationwide release of Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey.
Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye is made from a mash bill of 80% rye, 10% soft white wheat, and 10% estate-malted barley, distilled through a combination of a single Headframe continuous stripping still and a Christian CARL hybrid still. The distillate is cut with snowmelt-fed water sourced from the Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe.
The whiskey is aged in a combination of Seguin Moreau New American and French oak barrels with a #3 char in traditional wooden rickhouses calibrated to mimic the temperature and humidity of Kentucky’s Nelson County, ensuring a consistent, gradual maturation.
Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye is presented non-chill filtered and bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV). It’s described as having aromas of “bright orange peel and toasted spice, dancing with warm vanilla.” The palate exhibits notes of “succulent cherry syrup and crème brûlée, mingling with orange zest, baking spices and soft, subdued oak.” The finish is “long and lingering, replete with candied fruit, warm graham cracker, and a pleasant minerality balanced by spice and sweetness.”
Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey is available nationally for a suggested retail price of $45 and online at mindenmill.com.
