Cody Road Bourbon and Rye are each made from entirely local ingredients. Cody Road Bourbon is made from a mash of 70% corn, 20% wheat and 10% unmalted barley. The Burchett brothers source the corn from a local farmer in LeClaire, while they purchase the wheat and barley from a farmer in Reynolds, Illinois. Cody Road Rye is made from a mash of 100% rye grains which the Burchett brothers source from a farmer in Fulton, Illinois. After the grains are milled and mashed, they are fermented for six days before being distilled in a 1,000 liter, handmade Kothe German pot still, which the brothers nicknamed Rose.
Cody Road Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Mild but full of grain and spices on the nose, some honey and vanilla action going on. Hints of apricot and wildflower are also present.
Palate: Maple, fruits and brown sugar get carried away with that rye closure.
Finish: The non expected complexity comes to life here… Oak and pepper come to life and don’t leave easily coming back to your nose with every sip.
