High-Rye Bourbon, Oakland Pot Still
Most craft bourbons play it sweet; Wright & Brown's plays it spicy. The 23% rye share pushes this into high-rye territory, and the pot-still double distillation gives it a texture and depth most column-still bourbons don't have — a combination that earned it Gold at the American Distilling Institute and Best in Class at Whiskies of the World.

Tasting Notes
The nose shows toasted coconut, vanilla bean, and bergamot orange. The palate brings kettle corn, tobacco, chocolate, and thyme, finishing warm and spicy with fresh ginger and cloves.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on ice for the full high-rye spice, or in a bourbon-forward cocktail — a Boulevardier or a Paper Plane lets the rye edge do the talking.
