The Story

Born from the spirit of innovation and rooted in old-world technique, Ransom Rye Mash Whiskey is a handcrafted blend of rye, barley, and wheat. Distilled in small batches on our coastal Oregon farm using a traditional direct-fire alembic pot still, this whiskey honors the distinct character of each grain in the mash bill.

Rye brings bold spice and structure, barley offers depth and malt complexity, while wheat rounds it all out with soft, creamy texture. Aged in a mix of toasted and charred American oak barrels, the result is a beautifully balanced whiskey layered with notes of cinnamon, roasted grain, stone fruit, and warm vanilla.

Both rustic and refined, Ransom Rye Mash Whiskey is a versatile sipping spirit—equally at home neat, on the rocks, or in a modern Old Fashioned. It's a true reflection of grain, place, and purpose. This whiskey’s balance of rye spice, grain richness, and smooth finish also makes it an ideal match for after-dinner sipping or fireside cocktails like a Manhattan, Boulevardier, or a Rye Old Fashioned
