About the product: Far North Spirits is pushing back on monoculture, growing unique, open pollinated rye grain varietals on our century-old family farm. These rye varietals are selected and farmed specifically for their flavor when distilled, a common sense approach that is virtually unheard of in the industry. This is one of the first 95% rye whiskeys Mike ever distilled. With age, it has become an exemplary expression of what Hazlet has to offer.
