From its inception, Inchdairnie has sought to push the boundaries of flavour by combining traditional whisky making with new technologies. Ryelaw, the distillery’s inaugural release, was inspired by the discovery of documents dating to 1909 that detailed the use of rye in Scottish distilleries, a practice all-but forgotten until now.
Made in 2017 using Inchdairnie’s custom Lomond still, this single grain whisky comprises 53% malted rye and 47% malted barley. The locally-grown rye provides a rich spiciness in the spirit which is further complemented by ageing in new American oak. After five years maturation, Ryelaw show aromas of green peppercorns, woody spices and soft vanilla that fill the nose. The palate brings a cascade of peppery rye spice wrapped in notes of malted milk biscuits, dried fruit and an oily, mouth-coating viscosity.
This little beauty really is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with whisky!
