RY3 Cask Strength Madeira Cask Finish Rye Whiskey is a limited-release blended rye expression produced by Phenomenal Spirits. True to the "RY3" name, the base spirit is crafted from a meticulously chosen marriage of three distinct base whiskeys, featuring three separate mash bills and age statements. This includes high-rye components sourced from Indiana (MGP) and Canada (Alberta), alongside a portion of light whiskey to balance the profile.
Production & Aging
- The Base Blend: A combination of a ~4-year 95% Indiana rye, a 100% Alberta Canadian rye, and a 99% corn light whiskey.
- The Cask Finish: After initial blending, the whiskey undergoes an additional secondary maturation period (typically around 3 months) in vintage Madeira fortified wine casks.
- Proof & Strength: It is bottled at cask strength without dilution, usually landing between 116.2 proof and 127.6 proof depending on the specific single barrel or private selection batch.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
The secondary maturation in Madeira barrels layers heavy fruit and fortified wine characteristics directly onto the bold, peppery foundation of the rye.
- Nose: Enticing aromas of dried figs, orange peel, and warm baking spices, balanced by toasted oak and caramel.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich. It features upfront notes of dark honey, toffee, and ripe stone fruit, followed closely by robust pipe tobacco and aggressive cinnamon/peppery rye spice. Certain private selections lean heavily into a "cherry bomb" and butterscotch profile.
- Finish: Long, warming, and velvety with lingering notes of dark cocoa, oak, and dark fruit
