Mashbuild Rye Whiskey Finished in a Barbados Rum Barrel

Rye Whiskey Finished in a 6-Year Old Barbados Rum Barrel.

We wondered what it would taste like if we finished a bold, peppery rye in the most exclusive rum casks we could find. The results were beyond anything we could have expected.

The barrels we chose for this experiment were used to age a six-year rum just off of Brandons Beach in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Complex and full of flavor, the spice and caramel notes of the rye whiskey base are complemented by notes of apricot, banana, orange, and vanilla imparted by the Barbados rum barrel. This bottle is truly a must-have for anyone who enjoys barrel-finished whiskeys.

Each batch of Mashbuild has its own signature taste and we pride ourselves on doing things that are different, unique, and unexpected. This barrel-finished rye whiskey is no exception.

But no matter which batch of Mashbuild you are tasting, all of them bring a lot of whiskey flavor, all are unique drinking experiences, 100% exclusive, and 100% delicious.

WHAT’S IN THE BOTTLE?
There are three ways to get bourbon for bottling:
1. Distill it yourself

2. Source it from a company that makes it for you

3. Buy existing stock from a third party.

Because blending is so core to our mission, we knew we needed product from a variety of stills, geographies, and mash bills.

So if the questions is, “Does Mashbuild, distill whiskey, source whiskey, or buy whiskey?” the answer is, “Yes. All three.”

The bourbons you find in a bottle of Mashbuild came from Kentucky, Indiana,Tennessee, and Colorado, we are spinning up additional distilling operations and partnerships in Illinois and Missouri, and we’re already looking at additional facilities in Nevada. The oldest stock aging in our warehouses was barrelled between 2000-2007 and includes product made by Four Roses and the old Seagrams distillery among others.

Why are we sharing our secrets? We have nothing to hide. It’s the blend that makes Mashbuild what it is, not the story of how each individual barrel was produced. And in a time when all brands are less and less forthright about what’s going into their bottles, we’re proud to tell you EXACTLY what you’ll find in ours.
