Detailed Description
100% Oregon Certified rye grown by the distillery makes up 100% of the mash, which is furthered along with citric acid for pH and enzymes that aid in the conversion process. It’s aged for 3-4 months (my bottle noted 3 ½ months) in micro-barrels of new American oak with a medium-heavy char and cut with water sourced from the nearby Opal Springs to be bottled at 100 proof (“what all rye should command,” according to Molitor).
New Basin Distilling Company Resignation Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: There are sweeter notes of cherry cordial, fermented fruit and grain, almost like that of a scented candle.
Palate: This rye starts out a bit neutral, and then a straightforward peppery spice is revealed and builds.
Finish: Finish is very rich.
Distillery Information
New Basin received its distillery license in 2014 and formally opened its doors in 2016, founded by five Oregonians with a mix of professional backgrounds (farming, cattle ranching, education, piloting, craftsmanship), and a shared entrepreneurial drive and expressed desire to make better spirits than those they otherwise enjoyed. Production has included vodka, gin and whiskey.
