Town Branch Rye Whiskey
Town Branch Rye Whiskey is Kentucky rye with a brewer's pedigree: a 100-proof (50% ABV) straight rye whiskey from Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. — the distilling arm of the Alltech Lexington brewery — bottled non-chill filtered in this 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Town Branch is one of the few Kentucky ryes built on a genuinely high-rye mash bill — 90% rye, 5% corn, 5% malted barley — and the distillery blends barrels averaging around seven years old. Non-chill filtration keeps the texture full and the flavor unmuted at 100 proof.
Tasting notes: bold rye spice — cinnamon, clove, black pepper — over caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak; a warm, lingering finish with dried fruit and cocoa.
Why buy Town Branch Rye? Because high-rye, non-chill-filtered, 100-proof Kentucky rye at this price is genuinely hard to find — it's a bartender's rye that drinks like a premium one. Explore the rye whiskey collection, the Town Branch brand collection, and all whisky.
