{"product_id":"rolling-fork-rewco-5-year-kentucky-straight-rye-whisky-100-proof","title":"Rolling Fork REWCO 5 Year Kentucky Straight Rye Whisky 100 Proof","description":"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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cracked black pepper, cinnamon bark, toasted oak, dried orange peel, vanilla bean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold rye spice, caramel sweetness, charred oak, dark chocolate, mint undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long with warming spices, oak tannins, lingering pepper heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Rye Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarlight Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorden, Indiana, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRye whiskey enthusiasts\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking barrel strength intensity and complex spice profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail experimentation\u003c\/strong\u003e where the 100-proof strength cuts through mixers with authority\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e interested in heritage brands with Prohibition-era history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSipping neat\u003c\/strong\u003e for those who appreciate full-strength rye character and warming finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Rolling Fork REWCO taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRolling Fork REWCO delivers classic rye whiskey character with bold black pepper and cinnamon spice, balanced by caramel sweetness and charred oak.
