BUY CATSKILL RYE HONEY BARREL ONLINE | Lexi's Fine Wine & Spirits

New York Honey Whiskey is made from a mash of 80% rye and 20% malted barley, which the McKenzies source from within a 50-mile radius of their distillery. After purchasing the raw, whole grains from local farmers (they store them in holding tanks that they've nicknamed Rye-ella and Malt-ilda), the grains are milled and mashed without using any commercial enzymes. Then, the wash is distilled through a two-ton copper pot still that traveled 4,000 miles from Markdorf, Germany to upstate New York. Following distillation, the rye is aged in freshly charred American oak casks. Once it has reached its peak flavor profile, the rye is infused with Catskill Provisions late-summer honey. Located in a small corner of the Catskill Mountains, Catskill Provisions specializes in creating raw, all-natural handmade food products using local ingredients.
