OKLON SINGLE VARIETAL STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY
Oklon was bred and developed by Oklahoma State University in 1993. In the field, it’s taller than most modern varieties (>5 ft!) and thus more susceptible to lodging, and having been bred further south, produces lower yields in our harsh climate.

The Far North Method
These unique, open-pollinated rye varietals are selected and farmed specifically for their flavor when distilled, a radical approach that is virtually unheard of in the industry. When grown in our unique terrior and distilled in small batches, that potential is realized in a spectrum of rich flavors not found in mass-produced whiskies.
Mash Bill: 95% Oklon Rye, 5% Oklon Custom Rye Malt
Open top fermented with house selected yeast for 4-5 days.
Double distilled to 150 proof on a 500 gallon hybrid pot still with an 8 plate column designed by Vendome Copper & Brass Works.
Aged for 2+ years in new 15 gallon oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
With a nose of sandalwood, caramel, and fresh nutmeg, Oklon opens with toffee and cinnamon, finishing on floral notes of heather and buckwheat honey.
