If you’re a rye whiskey drinker, you’ve probably tried some iteration of Lock Stock & Barrel. While you can’t go wrong with any of its expressions, recently the brand announced the debut of a new, 25-year-old expression, and it’s one you definitely don’t want to miss out on.
Lock Stock & Barrel 25-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey
This is an extremely limited-edition whiskey, with only 250 bottles available. The oldest rye whiskey on the market, it’s a blend of specially selected barrels distilled in 1999 and aged in Alberta Distillers’ rickhouses.
Already an award-winner, it’s made from 100% Alberta-grown rye, distilled in copper pot stills, and aged in charred American oak barrels. The 111-proof whiskey opens with baking spices and toffee pudding aromas, followed by flavors of caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, and dried cherry, finishing long and warm with oak, smoke, and rye spice.
“The 25-Year-Old is the pinnacle of our ultra-aged rye whiskey collection and a genuine time capsule from the last century,” Chad Solomon, Director of Innovation at Cooper Spirits, says.
“This whiskey has been patiently waiting a quarter century to be experienced, developing extraordinary complexity through decades of gentle aging in Canada’s cold, dry climate. The meticulous barrel-selection process that Rob Cooper established has allowed us to create a rye of unparalleled richness and depth that showcases what happens when an outstanding distillate meets perfect aging conditions and patient stewardship.”
