Smoky, rye-forward whiskey with NY grains

Rye whiskey has a long history in America. The prevalent spirit of the northeastern states during the late-18th and 19th centuries, it has been undergoing a revival in recent years as part of the craft cocktail movement. Our honey-infused rye launched back in 2014, but Bonfire Rye is the first whiskey produced entirely in our Long Eddy, NY, facility in 2018. It’s made with a rye-forward blend of New York State grains that also includes the subtle sweetness of malted barley and organic corn.

Malted Barley

This smooth sipping whiskey has a rich, spicy flavor swirled through with strong notes of smoke due to our toasting of the grain prior to distillation. We recommend you serve it in a clear glass to feast your eyes on the gorgeous amber color and make every sip count. Or enjoyed in a Manhattan cocktail. Made in small batches.
