Bringing the classic back and giving it our own unique taste with 100% locally grown rye.

Rye is known for having a distinct character that comes from the grain itself - spicy and peppery with a dry finish. Made from a 100% rye grain bill, Chuckanut Bay Distillery Rye Whiskey exemplifies these characteristics in spades. 

Our rye is grown just up the road from the distillery, and is ground, mashed, and fermented in traditional wooden washbacks on site. After distillation, we age it to perfection in new charred American oak casks and bottle it at a generous 48% alcohol. 

We're pleased to introduce our offering of this true American Rye Whiskey that will delight in cocktails, or better yet, neat. We hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
