Preservation 7 Year Pot Distilled Cask Strength Rye

Preservation Pot Distilled Cask Strength Rye stands out as a bold, Texas-crafted masterpiece from Still Austin, blending 100% Texas rye into an intensely aromatic cask-strength expression at 116 proof, hand-selected by Master Blender Nancy "The Nose" Fraley for its technicolor explosion of orange spice cake, cinnamon, oily allspice, and barrel funk that punches far above its young age. This double gold winner at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition delivers seamless consistency from nose to lingering finish of muddled cherries and evergreen mint, making it a must-have for rye enthusiasts craving robust, unfiltered craft character without the wait for decades-old maturity.

Preservation Pot Distilled Cask Strength Rye is a Kentucky estate rye whiskey crafted through traditional pot distillation using Kentucky-grown rye, heritage corn, and roasted barley in micro-batches of 1-3 barrels. Aged 7-8 years in barrels with a proprietary toast and char profile at 110 proof entry, it's bottled uncut at cask strength, typically 112-118 proof—like the 117.2 proof edition—for intense, full-bodied character. This limited, allocated release embodies small-batch artistry and revival of historic distillation methods.

Caramel, spiced pear, roasted pecan, toasted grain, and warm baking spices greet the senses with inviting richness.

Oak, caramel, sweet brown sugar, cinnamon, and pepper mingle on the palate, delivering a smooth yet bold rye spice profile.

Long and lingering with caramel warmth, subtle sweetness, and a peppery rye kick that fades elegantly.

Its ultra-small batches—often just three barrels—ensure rarity and uniqueness, bottled at full cask strength to preserve raw potency and flavor depth. Revival of pot-distilled Kentucky rye using heirloom grains sets it apart from modern column-distilled ryes, offering an authentic taste of whiskey heritage. As an allocated limited edition, it's a collector's gem for rye enthusiasts seeking unparalleled intensity.

Sip neat or with a splash of water in a Glencairn glass to unlock its layered aromas and spice. Pair with grilled meats, dark chocolate, or aged cheeses to complement its caramel and pepper notes. For cocktails, use sparingly in a rye Manhattan to elevate classics without overpowering its nuanced profile.
