The Macklowe Kentucky Rye is a premium rye whiskey that combines the bold character of traditional Kentucky rye with the refinement associated with The Macklowe brand. Crafted from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, the whiskey is matured for more than four years in new charred American oak barrels before receiving an additional finish in casks that previously held The Macklowe American Single Malt Whiskey.
This secondary maturation adds extra depth and complexity while softening the whiskey’s natural spice. The aroma reveals notes of caramel, honey, toasted grain, and subtle grassy undertones, while the palate offers layers of rye spice, fresh apple, leather, vanilla, and oak.
Its rich mouthfeel and balanced flavor profile lead to a long, elegant finish marked by warming spice and hints of dried fruit. Bottled at 46% ABV and produced in small batches, the Silver Edition showcases The Macklowe’s approach to combining traditional American whiskey styles with innovative cask-finishing techniques.
