70% Corn, 21% Rye, 9% Malted Barley — Petite Sirah barrel finish

FULL-BODIED, STONE FRUIT, RED BERRIES, CRANBERRY, BAKING SPICE, DARK CHOCOLATE


Red Stave starts with a high-rye mash bill and Kentucky Straight Bourbon character, then finishes in J. Wilkes Petite Sirah barrels from Paso Robles, California. The result is something genuinely different: the whiskey takes on a reddish-orange hue, and the fruit presence of the wine barrels — cranberry, cherry, red currant — layers over the expected caramel and spice rather than replacing them.

Bottled at cask strength (102.4 proof) without dilution. A limited annual release, packaged in a signature Prohibition-era tin that references the brand's founding story in 1856 Paris, Kentucky. 92 points, Gold Medal — Beverage Testing Institute, 2023.


102.4 Proof
