Cowboy Little Barrel Rye Whiskey

Cowboy Little Barrel is back with a new Rye formulation that reflects the flavors of the South.

Preservation Farms & Distillery is a special place. The forty acre estate sits in the heart of Kentucky bluegrass country along the Bourbon Trail. During her career as the CEO of a Liquor distribution company, founder Marci Palatella dreamed of just such a place. She purchased the farm and named it Preservation. Like many startups, at first they sourced Spirits for their releases, aging and bottling them in the barn. But eager to create her own supply, she constructed a distillery on site with a single pot still that produces just a few barrels per day to support their own brands, including Wattie Boone & Sons, Very Olde St. Nick, and Cowboy Little Barrel.

Cowboy Little Barrel Rye Whiskey is a blend of sourced Spirits. Approximately 24% of the Spirit is aged for eight years in new oak. The remaining 76% is aged for three years. The combination creates a layered, multi-dimensional dram with plenty of spice and a distinct hazelnut note detectable on the palate and the nose. Taken neat, it tastes VERT "southern" with notes of sweet tea and peaches. And it’s bottled at an interesting 40.6% ABV.
