Filmland Spirits Ryes of the Robots Rye Whiskey
Filmland Spirits Ryes of the Robots Rye Whiskey is a 94-proof (47% ABV), 750mL small batch straight rye whiskey — a 95% rye, 5% malted barley mash aged 4+ years in American white oak and bottled non-chill filtered by Filmland Spirits in Kentucky. It won Gold at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Every Filmland whiskey arrives with an original B-movie script, and Ryes of the Robots is the studio's sci-fi epic: in the aftermath of the Automation Wars of 3050, cocktail clubs are the new state houses — until a fallen technology titan builds an army of robotic bartenders, and the Cocktail Consortium's number one bartender, Courtney Winters, has to save the world's happiest hour. The whiskey carries the same high-rye nerve as the story: 95% rye needs no corn to sweeten it.
Tasting profile: cinnamon and cloves on the nose; mint and pepper on the tongue; a long, chocolatey finish with hints of oak. Fresh mint, vanilla and cinnamon spice layer through a smooth, medium-long close. Browse the Filmland Spirits brand collection, more rye whiskey, and the full whiskey collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
