Sonoma Distilling Straight Rye Whiskey is a craft rye from Sonoma County, California. Adam Spiegel founded the distillery in 2010. The mash is 80% rye, grown in California and Canada. The other 20% is malted rye from the United Kingdom.
The spirit is double distilled in direct-fired copper pot stills. It then rests in new charred American oak for at least two years, so it earns the straight label. It is bottled at 93 proof, or 46.5% ABV.
Dried apricot and warm cinnamon spice rise from the glass first. On the palate you find vanilla, allspice, white pepper, more dried apricot and a little walnut. The finish is medium to long, with warming rye spice and toasted oak.
This rye took a Gold Medal at the 2022 Sunset International Spirits Competition. That is a nice nod for a small wine country distillery.
Sip it neat or on the rocks to catch the fruit and spice. It also makes a lively Old Fashioned, Manhattan or Whiskey Sour. You can line it up with ready-made cocktails for an easy party bar. For food, try dark chocolate, smoked meats or aged cheeses.
If you like rye with real spice and a bit of fruit, this California bottle is worth a try.
