Rough Rider Bull Moose Three Barrel Rye Whisky 750ml

Long Island Spirits makes Rough Rider in Baiting Hollow, on Long Island's North Fork, and Bull Moose is named for Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 party; Roosevelt, the original Rough Rider, was a Long Islander.

The rye, 93% rye and 7% malted barley, is aged in three kinds of barrel in turn: new American oak first, then bourbon casks, and finally casks that held the distillery's own Pine Barrens single malt. New oak gives cinnamon, the bourbon wood softens it with vanilla, and the single malt casks add a malty sweetness.

For a Long Island rye that tastes different from the Kentucky norm, this is it. If you want classic Kentucky spice, buy Rittenhouse.

Try it neat, or in an Old Fashioned made with a little maple syrup instead of sugar, which plays to the malt.

We carry it in the 750ml size. More bottles are under rye whiskey, and the rest of our whiskey is a click away. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
