New Straight Rye Launched by the Limestone Branch Distillery
The Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery has launched a new product – the Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey. Bottled at 90 proof, the whiskey has a distinctive sherry cask finish.
Steve Beam, President at Limestone Branch Distillery, stated in a release, “My grandfather, Minor Case Beam, made rye whiskey in his day, before prohibition, which was his specialty. This rye whiskey is inspired by him and a tribute to his distilling legacy.” He further added, “His mission was to craft only the finest whiskey – we are honoring him, his passion for distilling and what could’ve been if prohibition didn’t occur with this straight rye.”
The whiskey has been aged for two years. It exudes notes of warm rye spice, alongside offering hints of dried fruit.
It is available in 750ml flask-styled bottles with a cork topper and a letterpress label. The packaging details highlight the family’s tradition. Being a tribute to Minor Case Beam, the bottle also features the crest he used to carry on his labels, back in the days when he ran his distillery. Steve Beam also shared that they wanted to slip in the original logo to impart a special touch to the bottle.
The Beam brothers, Steve and Paul, set up the distillery in the year 2011, with the objective of crafting premium whiskey in small batches. Two years ago, they acquired the Yellowstone brand and released a special edition bourbon, to mark the 105th anniversary of the brand.
Real Ale Introduces Whiskey And Gin
Real Spirits Distilling Co., an extension of Branco’s Real Ale Brewing, has made a debut by unveiling two new expressions of whiskey and a gin. The whiskeys, namely Texas Hill Country Single Barrel Whiskey and Texas Hill Country Signature Whiskey, have been either blended or taken from a barrel of nonage statement whiskey, roughly two years old. The ‘Grain to Glass Gin’ on the other hand, has been made from a blend of botanicals, exclusively sourced from Texas. Real Spirits has emphasized the weather and vegetation of Hill Country to develop a Texas terroir for both the offerings.

However, with innovation being the name of today’s game in the business world, even giants like Jack Daniel’s need to experiment and provide novel creations. This is where Jack Daniel’s Rye comes into the picture.
