Rare Character The Ryeteous Seven Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Bonded/Lineup Pick

There are barrel picks, and then there are moments when the room goes quiet.

SEG-1538-B was one of those.

Partnering with Conrad from Bonded, alongside Liquor Lineup’s own club heavy hitters Tom, Cameron, and a circle of seasoned palates, we tasted, debated, circled back, and finally landed on a rye that didn’t just speak it declared itself.

This is The Ryeteous Seven in full stride.

The Specs

• Proof: 122.86
• Age: 8 Years, 9 Months
• Classification: Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
• Designation: Bonded / Liquor Lineup Barrel Pick

At nearly nine years in oak and bottled at a commanding 122.86 proof, this rye carries structure like a tailored suit. The nose opens with dark caramel, cracked black pepper, and toasted orange peel. The palate moves with authority, rich baking spice, burnt sugar, rye grain intensity, and a subtle herbal backbone that keeps it disciplined. The finish lingers long, dry, and confident. The kind of pour that reminds you why barrel picks matter.

 This was a super fun pick, but make no mistake, it was serious work. A true collaboration between Bonded and the Liquor Lineup Barrel Selection crew. A rye chosen not for hype, but for character.

We’re proud of this one.

 For the Liquor Lineup barrel selection aficionados who appreciate power with precision, this bottle doesn’t whisper. It performs.
