Rye Whisky, Maple Syrup Cask (Special Reserve Series), 700ml

Our First Special Reserve Rye Release

Our Special Reserve Series is where we showcase one-off whisky bottlings that celebrate the best of our grains, barrels and craftsmanship at Backwoods Distilling Co.

This ultra-limited release was matured four years in Maple Syrup casks, bringing a rich, decadent twist to our signature rye whisky. The result is a beautifully layered expression where bold spice meets silky sweetness — a whisky that feels both comforting and complex.

With only 260 bottles produced, this is a rare release that leans into indulgence while still holding true to the structure and character of our heritage rye.
