About Oregon Spirit Distillers Straight American Rye Whiskey
Oregon Spirit Distillers Straight American Rye Whiskey is a Straight Rye Whiskey produced by Oregon Spirit Distillers (MAVERICK SPIRIT LLC), crafted from 100% Oregon-grown rye grain, aged four years in new American white oak barrels, and bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof). What makes it special is its surprising depth of flavor for a young rye at modest proof, blending bold rye spice with bright fruits, caramel sweetness, and earthy vanilla notes, all sourced locally in Oregon—where the distillery is the second-largest American whiskey producer. It's ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking value-driven craft spirits, neat sippers who appreciate balanced spice without overwhelming heat, or mixologists crafting classics. Compared to category peers, it punches above its weight versus mass-market ryes like Bulleit (95 proof, spicier) or higher-priced craft options (e.g., MSRP $53), offering full-bodied complexity at $40.50 for 750ml—a steal for small-batch quality. Its awards, like Double Gold at 2016 SFWSC, underscore its excellence in a crowded field.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Rye spice leads without dominating, revealing bright summer fruits and crisp apple alongside a floral undertone and herbal mint. Bright floral notes balance with enticing spice and eucalyptus hints.
👅 Palate
Brown sugar and rye spice drive a full-flavored, sweet, almost creamy mouthfeel with caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, and nutty depth. Apple carries through with light effervescence, earthy spice, and dry walnut-leather accents.
✨ Finish
Rye spice intensifies with brown sugar, honey, and lingering warmth. Pleasant and steady spice fades gently.
