Masterson’s 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Gambler, buffalo hunter, army scout, gunfighter and newspaperman, William “Bat” Masterson did it all and did it well. And what better way to honor such a rarefied man than with a truly exceptional whisky. Crafted by artisans, distilled in a pot still and aged in white-oak casks for just over 10 years, it’s the kind of drink that Bat would’ve surely raved about.

Masterson’s is all rye and only rye, meeting the strictest definition of traditional rye whiskey. The rye is grown in the verdant Pacific Northwest and exhibits the perfect combination of weight, plumpness, richness with an earthy aroma. These key characteristics, along with a meticulous distillation process, give Masterson’s its uniquely smooth taste.

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 90 points: “The nose is full of cedar, baked cherries and orange blossom. Bold and honeyed once in the mouth with a touch of oatmeal, as well. A slightly fruity finish with a hint of smoke” (March/2013).
