James Oliver Rye Whiskey

Description

Indio Spirits is a spirits distillery located just outside of Portland in Beaverton, Oregon. Our products are of superb quality and provide the best possible value to our customers at affordable prices. Created through the foresight and vision of John Ufford, chairman and CEO, Indio Spirits was incorporated in July 2004. In 2005, Robert G. Turner, a well-respected spirits industry veteran joined the company as President and partner. That year, we also introduced our Indio Silver, Marionberry and Lemongrass-Lime vodkas. In 2006, Indio Spirits – in association with the Snake River Stampede Rodeo (one of the top 10 PRCA rodeos) – introduced our extremely popular Snake River Stampede 8-year-old Canadian whisky. During that time period, we also added to our flavored vodka products by introducing Blood Orange as well as Cricket Club Gin.

James Oliver Rye Whiskey is made from a mash of 100% rye grains, which are mashed and fermented before being distilled through a copper pot still. Following distillation, the whiskey is aged in new American oak casks with a #4 char. Typically, the degree of charring within a cask is measured on a scale of one to four, with a #1 char referring to casks that have been slightly toasted, and a #4 char referring to casks that have been charred so heavily that the interior resembles an alligator hide (the latter are nicknamed alligator-charred casks). After a four-year beauty rest in alligator-charred casks, James Oliver Rye is brought to proof and bottled by hand in Oregon.
