If you still think of rye as old fashioned, it’s possible you’ve been out of the cocktail loop as of late. Riding on the small batch bourbon train, rye whiskey has become a bit of a cult favorite, boasting a little more kick than its smooth, vanilla sibling.

Rob Cooper, of St-Germain fame, got a hold of a rare cache of a 100% rye from a Canadian distillery and patiently let it age (a stronger man than us) for 13 years before releasing. Lucky for us, the time has come. When this stash is gone, it’s gone.
