Stillwater Cove Meets the Rye Category
Stillwater is Bushwood's rye moniker, inspired by the brand's love for the Monterey Peninsula and Stillwater Cove — home of Pebble Beach and arguably the greatest golf experience in the world. (The brand notes that much of Pebble Beach's pristine turf is perennial rye grass.) The low-rye recipe is deliberate: 51% rye just clears the legal threshold, while 45% corn delivers the best of rye whisky layered over the best of bourbon — a rare mash bill in the rye category that invites bourbon drinkers across the aisle.

Tasting Notes
The nose is loaded with caramel apples, finely ground nutmeg, and just the right amount of rye. The palate leads with candied citrus and tropical fruit, blending into heady spice and sweet oak. The finish is long and dry, with oak and dark chocolate fading smoothly.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat, over a cube, or mixed — the brand built this one to work all three ways. The bourbon-forward profile makes it an excellent rye for cocktails where traditional high-rye spice would overpower.
