FRANKFORT, KY, November 11, 2021 – Castle & Key Distillery is excited to share that they have officially launched a series of Restoration Rye Single Barrels to be released every Thursday and Sunday beginning now through Sunday, December 12, except for the week of Thanksgiving. The single barrels will be available at the distillery for $64.99.

“We’re thrilled to be able to announce our Restoration Rye Single Barrel Whiskey, which doesn’t come from our most consistent barrel, but instead showcases the anomaly, the unusual and the interesting,” says Research & Development Manager, Jon Brown. “It truly is a journey in every barrel.”

Castle & Key will release two single barrel bottle labels, Black and Gold. Restoration Rye Single Barrel Black Labels were picked and identified as a single barrel release by the Castle & Key team and will be sold in the Boiler Room on site (see schedule below). Restoration Rye Single Barrel Gold Labels will be selected by retailers, restaurants and enthusiast groups throughout key markets where Castle & Key products are sold.
