Product Description:

Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey  Blue Corn Edition

Barrel Proof • Uncut & Unfiltered • Straight Rye Whiskey distilled with heritage blue corn contributing depth, sweetness, and signature color influence • Proof varies by barrel • Small-batch, grain-driven American whiskey crafted with frontier spirit.

Smokeye Hill’s Barrel Proof Blue Corn Rye is a bold, terroir-driven whiskey that showcases what happens when old-world rye spice meets the richness of heirloom blue corn. Blue corn is notoriously difficult to distill dense, oily, and flavor-packed but when done right, it produces a whiskey that’s sweeter, deeper, and more textural than conventional rye.

 At barrel strength, this release explodes with character: dark sweetness, earthy grain, peppery spice, and a smoky mineral backbone that could only come from blue corn and charred American oak. This is rye whiskey for the drinker who wants complexity, courage, and raw flavor.

• Palate
