Six Years in Lawrenceburg Oak
Off Hours launched in 2020 around a simple idea: whiskey for everyone, everywhere — not just dimly lit bars and preconceived notions. The straight rye follows that philosophy with a mature six-year age statement, unusual at this price, delivering the classic Indiana rye profile of spice, fruit, and oak in a mellow, well-rounded pour. Founder Jake Ireland's Indiana-born brand has grown fast on the strength of exactly this kind of bottle: honest age, honest proof, no pretense.

Tasting Notes
Floral spice, butterscotch, vanilla, and cherry with green-apple brightness on the nose; the palate is full-bodied — fruit and toasted oak with burnt-sugar sweetness — finishing long with lingering rye spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks for the full six-year profile; at 95 proof it is also built for classics — an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or a rye-forward whiskey sour.
