Old Potrero Toasted Barrel Single Barrel Whiskey

Old Potrero Whiskey is credited as the first American Craft Whiskey to hit the market after prohibition. Old Potrero's vision of a rye whiskey revival was fueled by the realization that rye was the grain of choice for America’s first distillers and that no pot-distilled whiskeys were being made legally in America in the early 1990s. Finding inspiration in the rye whiskeys of America’s past and Scotland's great single malt whiskeys, the small distilling team began researching and experimenting. The first whiskey went into the barrel in 1994, and the distillery soon began producing three pot-distilled rye whiskeys from a mash of 100% malted rye.
