About Oak & Eden Rye & Spire
Oak & Eden Rye & Spire is a distinctive rye whiskey produced by James Joseph Sanctified Spirits, LLC, categorized as Other Spirits at 45% ABV (90 proof) and available in 750ml bottles for $35.00. What sets it apart is the innovative 'Spire' process: after distillation from a high-rye mash bill (95% rye, 5% malted barley from MGP) and aging for about 2 years in charred new American oak barrels, a charred, medium-toasted oak spire is inserted into each bottle, infusing additional oak complexity over roughly 6 weeks. This results in a bold, spicy profile blending rye's peppery kick with smoky vanilla, toasted oak, and subtle sweetness, offering an easy-drinking yet fiery rye experience. Ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking affordable innovation without extreme youthfulness, it compares favorably in the rye category against standard bottlings like Bulleit Rye—more dynamic and spiced, though shorter on finish—standing out at this price point for its unique finishing method versus traditional ryes.
