About this bottle

HDC Elk Rider Rye is a blend of 2 year old 95% rye and 5% malted barley that has been aged in a mixture of 10, 50, and 200 liter American oak barrels. Produced in a one of a kind Italian copper pot still named "Nonna", which was designed for grappa production. Nonna, coupled with a thumper and 14 ft reflux column-still allow HDC high flavor profiles in a single pass.
