Blue Ridge Distilling Company crafts delicious whisky, working towards starting a whisky revolution one batch at a time. Operating out of Golden Valley, North Carolina, on the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, they use only the finest ingredients that include water, drawn from an aquifer below the distillery. Their Defiant Single Malt Whisky had the distillers take risks from the get-go, ending up with an award-winning expression that eschewed tradition. Defiant Rye Whisky had the team tackle a 100% rye whisky despite the grain being the hardest to work with. Paired with a meticulously cultured yeast strain, pure water, and a proprietary maturation process that involves putting the toasted American white oak barrel into the spirit instead of the other way around ― the result is another award-winning 92-proof expression that's rich, spicy, and bold.

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.
The nose is rich with rye spice, and a pleasant honey sweetness. Look for caramel, honey, vanilla, and tannins on the palate that has plenty of spice along with a smooth mouthfeel.
