Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye

Discover the sweet, sophisticated side of rye with Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye Whiskey. Following the massive success of their Double Oaked Bourbon, the team at Pursuit Spirits (creators of the Bourbon Pursuit podcast) applied the same meticulous finishing process to their award-winning Triple Mash Rye. The result is a whiskey that retains the spice of the original blend but adds layers of decadent fruit and deep mahogany richness.

The process begins with the flagship "United" rye blend—a marriage of three mash bills from Kentucky (Bardstown Bourbon Co.) and Maryland (Sagamore Spirit). This mature whiskey then undergoes a secondary maturation using custom French Oak staves that have been lightly toasted and heavily charred. This "Double Oak" treatment extracts intense wood sugars, creating a profile reminiscent of whiskeys three times its age, all bottled at a robust 108 Proof (54% ABV).
