- Description
- Blinking Owl's California rye combines organic local rye with wheat and barley, delivering warming spice and vanilla sweetness throughout. The organic grain selection and balanced mash bill create a full-flavored profile that avoids harsh edges while maintaining classic rye character. The palate is rounded and accessible, with vanilla providing gentle counterpoint to spice. This works equally well neat or as the foundation for an Old Fashioned.
