Freeland Spirits, Portland, Ore., is launching its first limited release rye whiskey finished in Magdalena Rum barrels. The five-year-old sourced rye was transferred into four Magdalena Guatemalan Rum barrels, where it spent two years in its second maturation. This marks the first time that Freeland has offered one of its limited releases outside of the distillery’s two tasting rooms.
“We’re double-excited about this limited release,” said Freeland Spirits Founder Jill Kuehler. “It’s a great collaboration with Magdalena Rum and it’s our first time making a limited release available outside of our tasting rooms. We’re excited to give
more people the chance to experience of our small
batch releases.”
Master Distiller Molly Troupe says, “It’s like thick caramel syrup drizzled over vanilla ice cream.”
Freeland is releasing 600 bottles of the 56% ABV whiskey in its two tasting rooms in Portland and Lake Oswego, Ore., April 23, and nationally online in 37 states via Tipxy.com on April 22. SRP is $75.
