MinorCaseRye(700mL)

<p>Old school Rye Whiskey with a Sherry twist.</p><p>In 1795, America still had its first president, the O.G. Washington, and there were only fifteen states in the Union. That’s also when <em>Jacob Beam</em> sold his first barrels of corn Whiskey, which wasn’t even called Bourbon yet – not for decades. He concocted his Old Hake Beam not far away from where Limestone Branch distillery stands today. One of Jake’s descendants had an incredibly cool name: <em>Minor Case Beam</em>, and this Rye expression is dedicated to him – an innovative distiller who had to give everything up when Prohibition came.</p><p>Today, Minor’s great-grandsons, <em>Steve and Paul Beam</em>, continue the family’s long tradition. They wanted to create a fine and soft Rye Whiskey Minor Case Beam would’ve made if there were no Prohibition. This two-year-old Rye was finished in cream Sherry casks for eight months and it successfully balances sweet fruitiness, warm spices and oak. Don’t let its age fool you, either: <em>Minor Case Rye</em> is a masterpiece in a lovely old school bottle, and wonderfully complex. Raise the glass to not living during the Prohibition.</p>
