“Minnesota is … a significant producer of rye,” said Bill Miller, a founder of J. Carver in a statement. “Our first Rye Whiskey is likewise based on grains grown on nearby farms, and is the first of a family of small-batch whiskies we plan to introduce over the next year.” The distillery, which currently does its work in a repurposed 17,000 square-foot auto dealership, bottled this young rye whiskey at 92 proof. It is suggested you can enjoy it either straight or in cocktails.
