The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Roknar Sauternes Cask Rye Whiskey takes the distillery's meticulously milled, fermented, and distilled Minnesota rye and finishes it in casks that previously held Sauternes, the sweet French dessert wine. That finish adds a layer of honeyed, apricot-like sweetness to the whiskey's naturally spicy rye backbone.
Expect a nose of dried apricot and baking spice, a palate that pairs rye pepper with honeyed fruit and a touch of vanilla, and a finish that lingers with warmth and sweetness. This is a limited release with tight distribution, making it a nice find for rye collectors who enjoy dessert-wine cask finishes.
It's best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube so the Sauternes character has room to show through; it also makes an elegant after-dinner pour in place of a dessert wine. Order this limited Sauternes cask rye whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop before it sells out.

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
