The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Castle & Key Restoration Rye Whiskey comes from the Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, a historic property established in 2014 with a mission to restore a piece of bourbon country's storied distilling heritage. This Kentucky straight rye whiskey carries a notably high rye content of 63%, giving it a bold, spice-forward character distinct from many traditional bourbon-leaning ryes. This particular batch is the distillery's second rye release, reflecting the careful, patient approach Castle & Key takes to whiskey making. Expect a nose of fresh baking spice and green herbal notes, with a palate that balances peppery rye grain against honeyed sweetness and oak, finishing long and warmly spiced.
This rye is well suited to sipping neat or with a splash of water to open up its aromatics, and its high rye content makes it an excellent choice for a classic Sazerac or rye Old Fashioned. Pair it with smoked meats or sharp cheddar to complement its spice-driven profile.
Castle & Key has quickly become one of the most respected new-era distilleries in Kentucky, and this Restoration Rye is a great showcase of their craft. Order Castle & Key Restoration Rye Whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop and experience Kentucky's revived distilling tradition.
