This is not a whiskey that quietly joins the conversation. No, this rye kicks the saloon doors open, slaps down a stack of caramel, sprinkles some pine needles on top, and dares you to keep up.

Right out of the glass, it’s got that wild rye swagger — piney, spicy, and smelling like it just got back from chopping firewood in a flannel shirt. But then comes the sweet talker: caramel, vanilla, and a whiff of fresh-baked spice cake.

Take a sip and boom — it’s a high-proof flavor rodeo. First, the caramel smooth-talks you, then the rye spice comes in like a slap on the back, and finally that cask strength heat builds a campfire in your chest. It’s bold, unapologetic, and somehow still balanced, like a lumberjack doing ballet.

Each bottle’s from a single barrel, which means every pour is a bit of a wild card — and that’s half the fun. Some lean spicy, some sweet, all of them packing Sonoma County character and a “don’t-water-me-down” attitude.

Lost Republic didn’t just bottle a whiskey — they bottled a personality.
