About Middle West Spirits Ported Pumpernickel
Middle West Spirits Ported Pumpernickel Rye is a full-bodied American rye whiskey that undergoes a distinctive double-cask maturation process. Aged for five years, it begins in medium-toasted American White Oak barrels before finishing in sun-soaked French Tawny Port casks, which impart rich complexity and depth. The spirit features an innovative mashbill of 80% dark pumpernickel rye, complemented by Ohio-grown soft red winter wheat and non-GMO corn. This cask-strength expression delivers sophisticated flavor layers that appeal to rye enthusiasts and craft spirits collectors seeking something beyond traditional rye profiles. Its port cask finishing sets it apart in the premium rye category, offering a bridge between whiskey and fortified wine characteristics.
