Ingredients: Corbin Cash Merced Rye 7 Year Single Barrel is crafted from the finest ingredients, including:

  1. Grains: A grain bill primarily composed of rye imparts the whiskey's characteristic spiciness and complexity, with a touch of malted barley to round out the flavor.

  2. Yeast: Specially selected yeast strains contribute to the development of unique flavor compounds and aromatic characteristics during fermentation.

  3. Water: Water sourced from the Merced County region is employed throughout the production process, ensuring purity and enhancing the whiskey's quality.

Distillation: The production of Corbin Cash Merced Rye 7 Year Single Barrel follows a meticulous distillation process:

  1. Milling: Grains are finely milled to create a mash, exposing starches for fermentation.

  3. Fermentation: The mash is transferred to fermentation tanks, where chosen yeast strains initiate fermentation, a process typically lasting several days. During this time, yeast converts sugars into alcohol and develops key flavor compounds.

  1. Barrel Selection: The distilled spirit is placed in new charred oak barrels, with meticulous barrel selection ensuring each batch achieves exceptional quality.

  2. Warehouse Aging: The aging occurs in California's unique climate, allowing the rye whiskey to interact with the oak barrels. Temperature fluctuations and wood influence impart unique flavors and complexity.

If only my horse came in more often

Trying to sip this straight was not a good idea. Way too hot. The flavors were overwhelmed by the alcohol. But what a difference a little water makes. Positively superb. I'd give this five stars if I could afford it. But I'm glad I tried a bottle. If my horse ever comes in again. I'll be buying more.
