Stanhope Kentucky Straight Rye

Stanhope Kentucky Straight Rye is produced in Kentucky using traditional American whiskey-making methods, focusing on a rye-forward mash bill to emphasize spice, structure, and depth. As a straight rye whiskey, it is aged in new charred American oak barrels, allowing the grain’s natural intensity to develop alongside notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.

Designed to highlight the boldness of rye while maintaining approachability, the whiskey reflects a classic Kentucky profile—balancing spice with sweetness and oak influence. Bottled to preserve its character and structure, it offers a versatile style suited for both sipping and cocktails, particularly classic rye-based drinks.
