Barrel Reserve Rye - Barrel Proof

A Blend of Straight Rye Whiskeys

$ 65.00 USD

"This is a highly enjoyable blend built from two rye mashbills distilled in Indiana, yet the resulting profile stands apart from many of its peers. Koopers Whiskey has taken whiskey that began its life elsewhere and shaped it into something that reflects its home in Texas." — DRINKHACKER

This exquisite blend is crafted from carefully selected Straight Rye whiskeys, each aged between four and seven years in a selection of first and second-fill barrels. We take great care in choosing only the most mature and remarkable Ryes, meticulously blending them in small batches and finishing them with toasted oak staves. The final result is bottled at barrel proof, capturing the true essence of our craft in every drop.

‍

Barrel Reserve Rye is built from barrels flagged early for intensity and clarity. We assemble the blend by trialing different age and barrel combinations, watching for the point where concentration and line feel complete without help from dilution. Once we lock in that profile, the whiskey is left at true barrel proof, given time in bulk to knit together so the power in the glass feels focused and deliberate, not raw.

Oak barrels are a foundational element of whiskey blending. Koopers sources multiple types and styles of oak and wooden barrels.

The Powerful & Moody Texas Climate

The Texas climate — characterized by high heat, broad temperature swings, and moderate humidity — plays a measurable role in whiskey maturation.
