Sonoma Distilling California Smoked Rye

Sonoma Distilling California Smoked Rye delivers a bold yet inviting balance of smoke, spice, and subtle sweetness — a whiskey that feels both expressive and effortlessly drinkable. From the first sip, warming spice and gentle sweetness lead the way, followed by a distinctive note of ripe cherry on the finish that adds depth and intrigue. It’s a profile that naturally shines in cocktails, yet remains compelling enough to enjoy on its own.

Crafted with a thoughtful mash bill of rye, wheat, and cherrywood smoked barley smoked in-house, this whiskey reflects Sonoma Distilling’s hands-on approach and attention to detail. Aged for a minimum of four years and bottled at 93 proof, it offers structure without overpowering the palate, allowing the smoke to complement — not dominate — the whiskey’s natural character.

This is a rye built for versatility and creativity, bridging the gap between classic rye spice and a nuanced, culinary-driven smokiness that invites exploration.
