Rye is a deep-rooted “cleansing” grain that is highly expressive of its terroir, and being surrounded by more than 70 vineyards, Long Island rye often develops a distinctive spicy sweetness. The Big Stick is bottled at 121 proof cask strength, showcasing the raw, authentic character of this locally planted rye. This small-batch whiskey uses Champagne yeast and undergoes a slow, 12-day fermentation — nearly four times longer than a typical rye — producing elevated esters and floral complexity that deliver more flavor than heat. In the glass, it shows a rich bronze-auburn color with exceptional clarity, offering aromas of salted crackers, dried prune, new leather, and loose-leaf tobacco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44134742294570,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7063\/4026\/files\/RoughRider.png?v=1772213553","url":"https:\/\/tipsywines.com\/products\/rough-rider-the-big-stick-cask-strength-rye","provider":"Tipsy Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
