Henebery Celebrated Rye Whiskey
Henebery Celebrated Rye Whiskey is the 90 proof (45% ABV) flagship of Henebery Spirits — a small-batch infused rye whiskey built on a young, high-rye whiskey and finished with fresh, all-natural ingredients through the brand's patent-pending infusion process. The nose is a journey of its own: heavy rye with sweet floral and citrus undertones; the mouthfeel is completely enthralling, and the finish is smooth and palatable while staying true to the essence of quality whiskey. It is rye spice, citrus, and floral in a 750mL bottle made for both sipping and building cocktails on. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Infusion That Started It All
Celebrated is the bottle Henebery is known for — the one that established the house style: take a smooth-yet-complex high-rye whiskey, infuse it with spice, citrus, and floral elements, and bottle it at a full 90 proof so the rye never gets lost. The brand's copy promises a whiskey that "will make a drinker's experience better, as well enhancing classic cocktails and providing a platform for a creative drinking experience" — in practice, that means a rye that can stand in for a standard rye in any cocktail and bring its own botanicals to the party.

Tasting Notes
Retailer/brand consensus: the sultry brown pour opens with heavy rye and sweet floral and citrus undertones on the nose; the palate is layered and enthralling — rye spice, citrus brightness, floral lift; the finish is smooth and palatable, the infused spice lingering without heat. Ninety proof keeps the structure firm throughout.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the infusion, or on a large cube. It is a natural Manhattan and Sazerac rye — the citrus-floral notes play beautifully with vermouth and bitters — and it upgrades any rye cocktail without changing the recipe.
