This is a blend of 2, 3 and 4 year old Rye Whiskey, finished no less than 3 months in wine barrels which previously held several vintages of Ammunition Sonoma Pinot Noir. This unique process imparts a sweetness and tannin unlike that of any other rye. You can smell it on the nose and see it with your eyes.
Special mash bill of 95% Rye and 5% Malted Barley.

While we've always been whiskey enthusiasts, crafting one of our own was a new challenge altogether. But, in typical Ammunition fashion, we dove down the rabbit hole in an effort to create something we'd be proud to share with anyone.
It wasn't enough to create just another whiskey. From the world-class grains to the hand-crafted finished product, if it was meant to bear the Ammunition name, then it had to be truly unique.
It took 4 years of distilling, blending, experimenting, arguing, and laughing, but Ammunition Bourbon and Rye were worth the wait.
Our secret sauce is to finish our unique blend of whiskeys in barrels that once housed our Ammunition wines. Finishing in precise combinations of those French oak casks is critical to the depth of flavor and nuanced finish that you'll only find with both Ammunition Bourbon and Rye.
In the true tradition of the American West we're blazing new trails, never satisfied with the status quo.
As we always say, "Quality Never Misses".

This whiskey is special. Dark amber in color, you can expect flavors of rich butterscotch and a hint of citrus. The finish is highlighted by subtle notes of baking spice and red berries courtesy of the Pinot Noir French Oak casks.
