Laws Whiskey House San Luis Valley Bonded 6 Year Rye Whiskey,

a distinguished craft spirit from Denver's Laws Whiskey House, is a testament to the distillery's commitment to traditional and meticulous whiskey-making. Initially released after four years of aging, Laws has further aged this expression for an additional two years, resulting in a total of six years of maturation in their federally-bonded rickhouse. This rye whiskey is crafted from Colorado Malting Company’s San Luis Valley rye grain, harvested from a single season, and reflects Laws' expertise as the sole distiller. The whiskey's robust flavor profile includes sweet grass and honey on the nose, intertwined with wild mint and fennel, and evolves on the palate with deeper accents of sea salt, orange tea, and brown sugar. The finish is both rich and buttery, marked by distinct tobacco notes. Adhering to the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, it is bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume). This whiskey, combining the spicy rye notes with the complexities of vanilla, caramel, and chocolate from its extended aging process, is presented in artisanal packaging that underscores its craft origins. Priced in the mid to premium range and often limited in availability, Laws Whiskey House's San Luis Valley Bonded 6 Year Rye Whiskey is a fine example of handcrafted spirits, distinguished by its unique aging journey and nuanced flavor palette.
