Bottling Notes
Following the Backwoods Distilling Co. inaugural rye whisky comes their 2nd batch rye, handcrafted in the Victorian High Country. Backwoods Rye is crafted from a Heritage Ryecorn grain, once growing wild and now grown and malted exclusively by Voyager Craft Malt in the Riverina region. The mash bill contains 60% malted rye, then 27% barley, 10% wheat and 3% chocolate malt. The whisky is a vatting of two 100L American oak casks that previously held Australian Cabernet and Shiraz.
The distillery comments…
“Our spicy and nutty rye spirit, paired with the creamy soda and coconut profile of the American Oak is a match made in whisky heaven”

John Atkins (verified owner) –
I bought the Rye 1 and 2 to see what the difference is. By my calculation. The second should be better as lessons have been learnt. But then there’s the issue of scarcity and novelty that comes into pricing.
To save you reading. They are both amazing. I would buy Batch 2 as Batch 1 is not discernibly better (given my limited experience) That means Batch 2…is amazing value.
Both in colour are almost identical ( And I have colour matched for a living)
On the nose ….amazing herbaceousness, floral notes…sweet perfume….the neck of someone you love.
Earthy, sage, amaranth the grain of the Aztecs. There’s something primal here, that is satisfying at a basic level. Chronologically second…but second to none.
