Orphan Barrel Scarlet Shade Straight Rye Whiskey

Orphan Barrel Scarlet Shade is the first-ever rye release from Orphan Barrel Whiskey Co., known for sourcing and bottling rare, forgotten barrels. This 14-year-old rye was distilled in Indiana, aged in Kentucky, and bottled in Tennessee, giving it a multi-state heritage story. Unlike many high-proof ryes, Scarlet Shade is bottled at a lower proof, making it more approachable while still delivering depth. The profile leans fruit-forward and balanced, with notes of vanilla, baking spice, orchard fruit, caramel, and light oak, finishing with hints of chocolate and citrus.
