TO THE BEAUTY OF RYE

Join founder Andrew Fitzgerald and help us celebrate the hardy and determined rye grain. The Whisky & Alement crew have recently visited the distillery and combed the racks for casks that will blow your perception of rye away. 

Talk to anyone about whiskey and the conversation is usually dominated by age or provenance, rather than the base ingredient from which it’s made. Just like the variety of grapes in wine, whiskey can be made from a variety of grains - rye, wheat, barley, corn - all of which produce distinct flavours and expressions. This July, we celebrate rye as a Victorian grown grain of significance with the same importance as we would wheat or barley. 

Throughout July, Whisky & Alement are featuring this plucky grain across a range of boilermakers, cocktails, whiskey flights and this very special event.
