Great Jones Private Barrel 6 Year Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Great Jones is the first whiskey distillery to open in Manhattan since Prohibition, on Broadway in NoHo, and it makes its whiskey only from New York grain grown around Warwick in the Black Dirt region, a couple of hours north of the city.

Its rye is made from 100% rye grain and aged in char 3 barrels in rickhouses upstate, because city fire codes limit how much whiskey can sit in the building. This bottling is a private barrel: one barrel, aged six years and bottled on its own at 94 proof, older and stronger than the standard Great Jones Rye.

One barrel means it won't taste exactly like the next. Rye spice and toasted oak lead, with vanilla and some dried orchard fruit.

For a rye made from New York grain in Manhattan, choose this. For one made in Brooklyn at the same price, try Fort Hamilton Double Barrel.

Sip it neat first, then add a few drops of water.

We carry it in the 750ml size, in limited quantities. 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.
