Castle & Key Restoration Rye – Batch No. 3 rolls out of Kentucky with bold character and a whole lot of backbone. Bottled at a sturdy 106 proof, this high-rye whiskey (63% rye, 17% corn, 20% malted barley) is aged at least three years and released just three times a year—each batch bringing its own Southern swagger. This one greets you with the warm, familiar scent of fresh rye bread and cinnamon toast, backed by orange blossom and a whiff of fruit leather. On the palate, it’s a lively dance of spice and subtle sweetness, with a heat that hums just right. It’s complex, rich, and made for sipping slow—or mixing into a cocktail that needs a little extra fire. Restoration Rye ain’t just another bottle—it’s a proud piece of Castle & Key’s comeback story. Bold, bright, and built with care, Batch 3 shows exactly what Kentucky rye can do when it's given room to shine.
