Rough Rider The Big Stick Cask Strength Rye Whisky
Rough Rider The Big Stick Cask Strength Rye Whisky is a farm-to-bottle rye from Long Island Spirits in Baiting Hollow, New York, the first craft distillery on Long Island, founded by Rich Stabile in 2007. The Rough Rider line takes its name from Theodore Roosevelt, a Long Island native, and The Big Stick is the boldest of the range: a small-batch rye bottled at cask strength, 121 proof.
The rye is grown locally as a winter cover crop, planted on Long Island potato farms after the harvest to keep the soil healthy, so the whisky is tied to the North Fork farmland in a literal way. The mash is 82% Long Island winter rye and 18% malted barley, and the fermentation runs twelve days on Champagne yeast, roughly four times longer than a typical rye, to build up esters and aromatics. The result is a young, grain-forward, high-proof rye with fresh rye bread, spearmint, baking spice, light vanilla and new oak, finishing on green peppercorn. A bottle for fans of craft rye who want to taste the grain rather than the barrel.
