About Woody Creek Distillers Colorado Straight Rye
Woody Creek Distillers Colorado Straight Rye is a 100% Colorado rye whiskey, crafted by Woody Creek Distillers LLC in Basalt, Colorado. This 90 proof (45% ABV) straight rye is mashed, distilled, and aged for at least two years in American white oak barrels, delivering a youthful, grain-forward profile that highlights the purity of local rye grains. What makes it special is its bright, fragrant character with aromas of white pepper, citrus, and grains, balanced by oaky vanilla sweetness, earning it a Platinum at the 2025 LA Spirits Competition and Gold at the 2025 Ascot Awards. It's ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking an approachable, savory sip rather than heavy oak dominance, perfect for both neat drinkers and cocktail adventurers. Compared to bolder, spicier ryes like Bulleit or WhistlePig, it stands out as lighter and more vibrant, offering excellent value at $39 for 750ml—grain purity without the premium price tag.
