His palate, his pick

Our Executive Chef Michael Crouch has one of the best palates we know, and rye is what he reaches for. Once a year he selects and blends one.

There is no committee and no house style to satisfy. He picks what he wants to drink, and that is the whole point. His name is on the label because the choices are his.

Rye whiskey has always spoken to me, the spice, the complexity, the way it evolves with time. Chef Michael J. Crouch
