Freimeisterkollektiv Dark Rye (100% Rye Whisky) represents the pinnacle of Austrian whisky craftsmanship, a creation of the renowned J. Haider whisky distillery, known for its expertise in rye and rye malt whiskies. As part of the distillery's premium range, Dark Rye demonstrates exceptional skill and a long-standing tradition in the production of rye whisky.
Rye Malt from the Waldviertel
Based on 100% rye malt, yeast and water, this whisky benefits from the excellent conditions of the Waldviertel – Austria's rye-growing heartland. The Haider family, pioneers of Austrian whisky, carefully selects local rye for Dark Rye, which is darkly roasted at a local malt house to bring out malty caramel notes.
Maturation and Flavours
Dark Rye matures for five years in a unique Trockenbeerenauslese cask made from Manhartsberg summer oak, giving it mild vanilla notes and a rich range of honey and fruit aromas. This special selection, a single-cask bottling, produces a whisky with a long-lasting finish and a complexity that can only be achieved through special maturation in used sweet-wine casks.
Serving Recommendation
Freimeisterkollektiv Dark Rye is ideal as a digestif, preferably neat or over ice, allowing you to fully savour its full-bodied flavours of caramel, honey and fruit. It is an exquisite choice for connoisseurs and lovers of Austrian whisky craftsmanship.
