Rolling Fork REWCO Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky is a 5-year aged, 100-proof barrel strength rye that honors the pioneering spirit of the Wathen family's whiskey legacy. Named for Richard E. Wathen, president of American Medicinal Spirits, this Kentucky straight rye delivers the bold spice and rich complexity that defines premium American rye whiskey at its natural cask strength. The Rolling Fork name traces back to 1788 when the Wathen family founded their first distillery, establishing a bourbon dynasty that survived Prohibition and continues to influence American whiskey culture today. Distilled at Indiana's respected Starlight Distillery, this REWCO expression represents "The Zenith of Possibility in Whiskey Quality" — a testament to traditional rye whiskey craftsmanship delivered at full barrel strength intensity.
