Gospel Straight Rye Australian Whisky 700mL
The Gospel Straight Rye Whisky 45% ABV 700mL - Gospel Straight Rye is the first 100% Australian rye and is made in Brunswick, Melbourne from all-Australian grain grown in the Mallee. Following double distillation, the whisky is matured in a two-storey tall bespoke solera system composed of new American oak and x Australian wine barrels. Technically, it’s not old enough to be called whiskey, but this shows more character than you’d expect for its age.
Gospel are the only brand focused on 100% Rye Whiskey production and have created a true mix of American style and Australian ingredients’ said Ben Bowles, co-founder of The Gospel Distillers, who grew up in South Carolina. ‘’It’s a particularly exciting time to be producing in Australia with the growing popularity and demand for rye spirits.
Whisky is the religion, rye is the Gospel. Amen.

Gospel Straight Rye Australian Whisky Tasting Notes:
Flavour notes of caramel and spice on the nose, creme caramel on the palette. Shoot it straight up, mix it in a Manhattan cocktail or with Dry Ginger Ale with a slice of orange. [Batch 001] A 100% rye aged in 100% New American oak. Amber topaz colour. The bouquet opens oily and grain-focussed; butterred dark rye bread, dustings of cocoa, hints of muddled mint and purring spices build over deeper oak sugars. Crisp on entry with a medium-bodied, creamy -yet-peppery attack. Oily rye glides across wafery vanillas as the spices intensify. Beautifully controlled, and with serious length and staying power. The finish offers hints of apple mint, wood spice and a pleasing charry astringency. It’s an essay in understatement and elegance for the genre – and dangerously drinkable. It’s also a release that firmly places Australia on the rye whiskey world map. (Rumour has it higher strength single casks are in the pipeline, so look out). At this special introductory price for a short time only. 45% Alc./Vol.
