Corbin Cash California Straight Rye 7 Years Old
Heat Ryes-es
The Souza family has been growing sweet potatoes in California’s Central Valley for over 100 years, and they’ve been growing rye for just as long as a cover crop. In 2007, David Souza opened Corbin Cash Distillery, named for his son, and began distilling that rye (And yes, they distill sweet potatoes too – but this is pure rye whiskey!). Their grain to-glass whiskies reflect the bounty and warmth of one of the world’s great agricultural regions.
This was distilled from 100% estate-grown Merced rye. It was aged for 7 years in a heavily charred new oak barrel in the heat of the Central Valley, making this a rye from an uncommonly hot climate. The result is a welcoming and powerful whiskey. It is fresh and minty, with notes of sweet chocolate, delicate oak, and wintergreen. It reminds us of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Our oldest rye whiskey to date.

About Corbin Cash Distillery
The Souza family has been growing sweet potatoes in California’s Central Valley for over 100 years. They’ve been growing rye for just as long as a cover crop. In 2007, David Souza opened Corbin Cash Distillery, named for his son, and began distilling that rye (And yes, they distill sweet potatoes too – for their vodka, gin, and sweet potato liqueur). As a farm distillery, Corbin Cash is one of the only distilleries in the country to grow the vast majority of its raw materials right on-site, including 100% of their rye. Grown, distilled, and matured in the heat of inland California, Corbin Cash’s estate ryes capture the unique terroir of the Central Valley—one of the world’s greatest and most bountiful agricultural regions.
