La Crosse Distilling Company High Rye Light Whiskey

We distill our light whiskey from organic rye and a pinch of wheat grown by family farmers. Following the guidelines of the Light Whiskey category, it is distilled at a higher proof than typical straight whiskeys. It is then intentionally aged for no more than a couple of weeks in a combination of used charred oak barrels and toasted oak barrels that are made with white American oak from local stave-maker, Staggemeyer Stave Company. This process allows the spice of the rye and the sweetness of the wheat to come shining through with just a kiss of oak.
