Middle West Spirits Dark Pumpernickel Rye

America's First Dark Pumpernickel Rye

Middle West Spirits Dark Pumpernickel Rye is a genuinely one-of-a-kind American whiskey — the first dark pumpernickel rye whiskey ever produced in the United States, crafted at Middle West's Columbus, Ohio distillery using a four-grain mash bill that includes dark pumpernickel rye alongside traditional rye, malted barley, and corn. The result is a whiskey of extraordinary distinctiveness: the bold, spicy character of American rye transformed by the earthy, bread-forward complexity of dark pumpernickel into something that simply has no peer.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Distinctive and deeply complex — dark rye bread, caramel, and a warm spice with notes of toasted grain, dried fruit, and a subtle earthiness that is unmistakably pumpernickel
• Palate: Rich and textured — dark bread, toffee, and a building rye spice with a satisfying grain complexity and a clean, Ohio craft character
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering dark grain, spice, and a clean, dignified oak warmth
