The generous rye content is married with the sweetness of corn for a genteel interpretation of the venerable spirit.
The mash bill used here is 70% rye, 20% corn, and 10% malted barley, all sourced from within 100 miles of Evanston, Illinois, where the distillery is located.
Evanston was a dry county well past the end of Prohibition and alcohol wasn't allowed until 1972 when restaurants and hotels could finally sell liquor.
FEW is the first distillery (or alcohol production of any sort) in the town's history.
Patiently aged in air-dried oak barrels, its spicy character transcends mere resurgence. Behold – the renaissance of rye.
