Description

Collaboration with the James Family Farm In the turbulent years after the Civil War, the James Gang carved their names into American folklore—brothers, rebels, and gunslingers who rode hard and struck fast. From Liberty, Missouri to Northfield, Minnesota, they robbed banks and trains with a boldness that turned headlines into legend. But they weren’t just outlaws—they were outcasts forged in fire, loyal to their own and feared by the rest. James Gang Rye channels the dust and defiance of a bygone age. Bottled at over 100 proof, it opens with smooth sweetness before finishing with a slow-burning heat that settles deep. Inspired by outlaws, it’s whiskey with history in its bones and rebellion in its finish.

Tasting Notes

Color

A deep amber with copper highlights, reflecting its time in Missouri oak and its bold, high‑rye mash bill.

Nose

A warm, inviting aroma of bark spice, toasted grain, and subtle herbal rye notes. Hints of caramel and dried citrus peel rise through the spice, giving it a classic frontier‑style rye character.

Palate

Opens with balanced caramel sweetness before the rye spice builds—think bark spice, cracked pepper, and warm oak. The sweetness and spice stay in harmony, giving it a layered, rugged profile without harshness.

Finish

A welcome warmth that lingers with rye spice, dry oak, and a touch of caramel. Long, steady, and unmistakably bold—true to the James Gang spirit.
