A Collaboration between Distillery and Author

Writers Rye Chapter 2.2 is the second release in the Writers Rye series, a collaboration between Virginia Distillery Company and renowned American author, James McBride. This 100% rye whiskey is a unique and complex spirit that pays homage to the written word. The nose offers aromas of toasted rye bread, allspice, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, bold rye spice is complemented by notes of cinnamon, orange zest, and a touch of caramel. The finish is long and warming, with lingering rye and oak. Chapter 2.2 was crafted using a mash bill of 100% malted rye and aged in a combination of new American oak and once-used bourbon barrels. It is bottled at 100 proof, delivering an impactful yet balanced expression of rye whiskey.
