Distilled at the revived and renovated Old Taylor Distillery in Frankfort, KY, Restoration Rye is Castle and Key Distilling's flagship rye whiskey. The whiskey is made from a mash bill of 63% rye, 17% corn, 20% malted barley and released in three batches each year.
In 2014, our team purchased the Old Taylor Distillery, in ruins. Then we got to work, building a consortium of like-minded people, often from outside the industry, who shared their vision.
The Castle has been standing proud over this site since 1887, and it first served as a distillery as early as 1819. We're beyond excited to once again invite guests to explore where the magic happens while taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of spirits production.
Rye is naturally spicier than other grains such as corn and wheat, resulting in a spicy kick to the whiskey, often described as having a black pepper or clove-like taste. Some of the earliest rye whiskeys in America were created from a mash of 100% rye. This whiskey was extremely spicy and dry.The Castle and Key Distillery was once known as the Old Taylor Distillery. The Old Taylor Distillery was built in 1887 by Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. in Millville, Kentucky.
