Castle & Key Experimental Series Rye Whiskey Finished in Extra Old Haitian Rhum Casks is available at Gifted Pour, your destination for rare and distinctive American whiskeys delivered with speed and reliability. This limited-release expression pushes the boundaries of traditional rye whiskey with an unconventional finishing technique that sets it apart from standard shelf offerings.

Castle & Key Distillery operates out of the historic Old Taylor Distillery in Millville, Kentucky — a landmark property restored to working order after decades of dormancy. Known for meticulous grain-to-glass production, the distillery built its reputation on botanical spirits before expanding into serious whiskey releases. This Experimental Series entry takes their rye whiskey and finishes it in casks previously used for Extra Old Haitian Rhum — a category known for its rich, funky, and complex agricultural character derived from fresh sugarcane juice. The result is a cross-cultural conversation between the spice-driven backbone of American rye and the tropical, earthy depth of Haitian rhum agricole traditions.

Best explored neat or with a small ice cube to let the layered aromas open up, this expression also brings something genuinely unexpected to stirred cocktails. Its rye grain structure and rhum-cask influence make it a compelling choice for an elevated Manhattan or a split-base Old Fashioned.
