Old Potrero Straight Rye Whiskey 6 / Case

This straight rye whiskey was aged in new handmade charred oak barrels. In traditional barrel making the copper heats the staves over a fire of oak chips allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel. During this process the inside of the barrel becomes lightly toasted. By the early 19th century Coopers had learned that if they allowed the heat to continue the inside of the barrel would burst into flames and become charred. Handmade oak barrels-charred in this traditional manner-impart a rich color and unique character to this rye whiskey. 48.5% ABV 97 Proof Product Information: - Anchor's attempt to re-create the original whiskeys of the United States - Old Potrero marked the return of pot distilled rye whiskey to the United States - Distilled using small copper pot still at Anchor Distillery on Potrero Hill in San Francisco - Distilled from 100% malted rye mash bill - Matured in new charred barrels The original Anchor Distilling Company was established in 1993
