If you wonder why this whiskey is so good, it becomes evident when you know the mash bills are derived from three gold standard distillers:

  • Kentucky: Sourced from Bardstown Bourbon Company, known for its modern transparency and expert blending. Their rye contributes the rich, spicy core of the blend (95% rye, 5% malted barley).

  • Tennessee: Produced by Undisclosed Tennessee Distillery (widely understood in the industry to be Chattanooga Whiskey Co.), offering a softer, sweeter profile thanks to its inclusion of corn (70% rye, 18% corn, 12% malted barley).

  • Maryland: Supplied by Sagamore Spirit Distillery in Baltimore, whose 95% rye, 5% malted barley whiskey delivers that classic Mid-Atlantic spice and floral nuance.

This combination delivers both the sweet corn richness of the South and the spicy, herbal intensity Maryland and Kentucky ryes are famous for. Expect a bold yet refined spirit layered with spice, caramel, honey, and toasted oak, underpinned by that classic rye zest. Bottled at 108 proof (54% ABV), Pursuit Rye delivers a rich, full-bodied experience that rewards both neat sipping and crafted cocktails.

Behind the bottle stands the team from the award-winning Pursuit Spirits, known for their expertise and innovation in blending. For those who appreciate rye’s spicy sophistication and handcrafted authenticity, Pursuit United Rye represents a new standard. Proudly non-chill filtered and free from additives, it’s an honest expression of American craftsmanship.
