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: Running at five barrels a day, production can be tailored to the team’s exacting standards – which is evident from the first taste. The rye itself is dense and intensely flavoured and comes from a single farm in the Murray Mallee. A precision, temperature controled mash tun and agitator gets the very best out of the grain (a variety known to push distilling skills to the limit). The wash passes through the custom column still in a ‘stripping run’ before being finished in the pot still. All important maturation is two years on-site in 200 litre virgin American oak barrels ranging from #2 - #4 level char. From the inside out, The Gospel is a whiskey that shows serious attention to detail (and who wouldn’t want a bottle that looks this good on their bar?) Batch one filled 15 barrels (mostly #3 char), which amounts to approximately 5000 bottles in the first blend. It may appeal to avid collectors, but the majority should find its way into the homes of discerning rye drinkers looking for a bargain. YouTube Review:

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.

“With this straight Rye, we wanted to create a “sessionable’ whiskey – something that can be enjoyed again and again and is available to everyone. We envision it as the drink of the summer, served with dry ginger ale and a slice of orange. The spice & creme caramel flavour work well in the bartender classics like an Old Fashioned or a Sazerac.
