J. W. Kelly Golden Age Straight Rye Whiskey

Chattanooga history inspires this golden rye. J.W. Kelly first poured his original rye recipe inside his legendary Market Street tavern back in 1892. This modern revival honors that historic recipe with a unique mash bill featuring 65% rye alongside 35% combined malted grains. The heavy reliance on malted barley and malted rye creates a distinctly plush, creamy mouthfeel. It's a refreshing departure from sharp ryes.

Superior oak barrels shape its character. Aged in charred white oak, the spirit marries bright fruit notes with deep wood sugar sweetness. That extra malt softens the typical rye bite while maintaining plenty of bold structure at 94 proof. You'll love how smoothly it sits on your palate. Enjoy it neat or mixed classic style.
