Ruby Red Port Barrel Finished Straight Rye Whiskey
For this Distillery Reserve release we’ve paired the distiller’s art with the work of Texas writer, Stacey Swann. Each hand-written label contains a fragment of her story, available in its entirety at stillaustin.com/goodchaos. The 100% rye whiskey has been aged for 4 years, then finished 8 months in Ruby Red Port barrels.
