Spirit Works 8 Year Rye 750ml

California Craft Rye, Eight Years in the Making

Spirit Works Distillery is a grain-to-glass craft distillery based in Sebastopol, California, known for its meticulous approach to American whiskey. This 8 Year Straight Rye represents the pinnacle of their rye program — a fully estate-crafted expression milled, fermented, distilled, and aged entirely on-site in the Sonoma County wine country. Eight years in American oak have produced a rye of remarkable depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Toasted rye bread, dried stone fruit, vanilla bean, and a hint of wine country oak
• Palate: Rich and layered — cracked pepper, caramel, dried cherry, and baking spice with a silky mid-palate
• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering rye spice, oak tannins, and a touch of dried fruit
