The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
King's Cask Strength 122 Proof Rye Whiskey is an Empire Rye release crafted after the blending team carefully evaluated their rye inventory in preparation for the year's annual blend. Empire Rye is a designation reserved for rye whiskeys distilled and matured in New York State using a minimum percentage of New York-grown rye grain, giving this expression a strong sense of regional identity. Bottled at a robust 122 proof without dilution, this whiskey showcases rye character at its most intense. Expect a nose of bold rye spice, toasted grain, and dark caramel, with a palate delivering peppery heat, vanilla, and oak, finishing long, hot, and deeply spiced.
Given its high proof, this rye is best enjoyed with a splash of water to open up its full flavor profile, or savored neat by those who love a powerful pour. It also makes a strong, flavorful base for a Sazerac. Pair it with smoked meats or dark chocolate to match its intensity.
As a cask-strength Empire Rye, this bottling is a great pick for rye enthusiasts who appreciate regional provenance and bold, undiluted flavor. Shop King's Cask Strength Rye Whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop today.
