FAQ:

1. What makes Old Potrero different from other rye whiskies?
Old Potrero is made from 100% malted rye, unlike many ryes that include corn or barley. It’s also pot-distilled in small batches, giving it a rich and unique character.

2. Is this whiskey suitable for cocktails?
While it can be used in bold cocktails like a Manhattan, its depth and complexity truly shine when sipped neat or with a splash of water.

3. What does “Single Malt Rye” mean?
It means the whiskey is made entirely from malted rye at a single distillery, similar to how single malt Scotch is produced, but with rye instead of barley.
