Podcasters Release Their Own Double New Oaked Rye
Pursuit Spirits, the company founded by the creators of the popular Bourbon Pursuit podcast, today announced the launch of their latest expression – Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye Whiskey.
This new product is part of the United product family, which emphasizes the art of blending whiskeys with varying mashbills from different regions to achieve a more flavorful and one-of-a-kind profile. The Double Oaked Rye features the same base as their award-winning Pursuit United Rye whiskey, produced in partnership with industry leaders Bardstown Bourbon Company and Sagamore Spirit. Building on the success of their highly acclaimed Double Oaked Bourbon, the new Double Oaked Rye showcases a new stave profile using french oak that has been lightly toasted and heavily charred for the secondary maturation.
“We’re thrilled to be expanding our Double Oaked line with this exceptional Rye Whiskey,” said Kenny Coleman, Co-Founder of Pursuit Spirits. “After the wild success of our Double Oaked Bourbon, we immediately began working to bring a new level of depth and complexity to our rye expression. This pursuit resulted in a truly exceptional whiskey that we’re incredibly proud of.”
This release represents the culmination of an extensive experimentation phase. Over 40 different oak experiments were conducted to find a profile that worked in perfect harmony with their Pursuit United Rye. The team tested various oak profiles along with different toast and char levels to determine the ideal combination for this initial release. The finished product boasts a rich mahogany color and full-bodied flavor showcasing an oak profile with whiskeys three times its age, but at Pursuit’s signature 108 proof point.
Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye whiskey will be available at the Pursuit Spirits distillery tasting room on Mellwood Ave in Louisville, KY and Seelbachs, beginning on Thursday, August 29th, 2024. Distribution is limited to those states that request it with the first bottles going to GA and MD. The suggested retail price is $69.99 for a 750ml bottle.
