Rye Meets the Vineyard

Ampersand Rye Whiskey Vinea is a creative and distinctive expression that brings together the bold, spicy character of straight rye whiskey and the rich, complex influence of wine cask finishing. “Vinea” Latin for vineyard signals exactly what sets this whiskey apart: a finishing period in wine casks that imparts a lush, fruit-driven depth that beautifully complements the rye’s natural spice and grain character. A whiskey for those who appreciate the art of the unexpected pairing.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Spicy and fruit-forward rye bread, toffee, and a warming pepper spice with a velvety wine-influenced richness and a satisfying interplay between grain and cask
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a clean, dry rye fade
