About Crooked Water Regatta Rye Rum Barrel Finish Straight Rye Whisky
When Heather Manley formed Crooked Water in 2013, she was searching for a venture that would allow her to express her passion for spirits and innovation. She partnered with the award-winning Yahara Bay Distillery in Madison, Wisconsin, soon releasing Kings Port, a port cask-finished bourbon. Soon, the lineup grew to include several expressions of modern and innovative spirits that include bourbon, rye, vodka, gin, brandy, liqueur, and ready-to-pour cocktails. Regatta Rye is a straight rye whiskey that is initially matured in oak casks for 2 years before being finished in rum casks from Barbados. Bottled at 95 proof ― Crooked Water always strives for higher-proof spirits ― it's a deliciously spicy expression that invokes days spent at sea.

About Rye
As American as the bald eagle, rye whiskey was first brewed in the American Northeast in the 1600s. Even George Washington distilled it after leaving the Oval Office, so there’s no way of denying its origin.
It’s distinguished from bourbon for its original and unique spicy notes.
By law, rye whiskey must be made from at least 51% rye grain, aged in new and charred oak barrels for at least two years, and bottled at no more than 62,5% ABV.
