Crafted in custom CARL stills, Woody Creek Colorado Rye Whiskey uses locally grown Elbon rye. The whiskey is aged for at least four years in new American oak barrels. After aging, the whiskey is blended for consistency and diluted to 45% ABV before bottling. It retails for around $54.99. In 2018, actor William H. Macy joined Woody Creek Distillers as the company’s official "spokesdude."
The palate is surprisingly delicate for a 100% rye. Instead of big, bold, and spicy it is fairly mellow, with the spices sticking to the background and orchard fruits (pear, golden apple) front and center, with a hint of green tea-like tannins and slight herbaceousness.
