Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye Whiskey

Discover a sweeter, mellower side of rye with the Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye Whiskey (88 Proof). Crafted by the duo behind the hit podcast Bourbon Pursuit, this expression is designed to be the ultimate "daily drinker" rye. By uniting three distinct rye mash bills from Kentucky and Maryland—and bottling it at an approachable 88 Proof (44% ABV)—Pursuit Spirits has created a whiskey that prioritizes balance and fruit-forward flavor over aggressive heat.

This release features a masterful blend of three stocks: a 95% Rye from Bardstown Bourbon Co. (KY), a 95% Rye from Sagamore Spirit (MD), and a unique corn-heavy rye (52% Rye, 43% Corn) from Sagamore Spirit. For this 88-proof edition, the blenders lean more heavily into the 95% rye components to ensure the bright fruit and spice notes shine through the lower proof, creating a sipping experience that is soft, floral, and incredibly versatile.
