10th Mountain Barrel Proof Rye
About 10th Mountain Barrel Proof Rye
10th Mountain Barrel Proof Rye represents the distillery’s limited, high-strength versions of its Colorado rye whiskey. The standard rye recipe contains 69% rye, 27% corn, and 4% malted barley and is matured in new charred oak barrels. Barrel-proof releases are bottled at their individual barrel strength, so the exact age, proof, price, and flavor profile can vary from one selection to another.

These bottles are released as limited cask-strength editions and special barrel selections rather than as one permanent expression. Proof, age, price, and availability may therefore vary significantly between releases.
Flavor Profile
A powerful and full-bodied rye featuring butterscotch candy, honey, clover, dark cherry, mild rye spice, and wine-like fruit. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of smoke, seasoned oak, warming spice, and restrained sweetness.
