Gold Gate Rye 44 is a premium, limited-edition whiskey crafted from 67% rye, 13% soft red wheat, and 20% malt. Aged for at least two years in toasted and charred White American Oak barrels, sourced from the renowned Speyside Cooperage, this whiskey offers a bold yet balanced flavor. It features aromas of rye spice and oak, with tasting notes of allspice, cinnamon, and a smooth wheat finish. The 20% malt content adds depth and richness, contributing to a well-rounded, full-bodied whiskey. Bottled at 100 proof, Gold Gate Rye 44 represents both top-tier craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of Jerry West, a true icon of West Virginia.

Michael Greenblatt, co-founder, says: “Gold Gate Rye 44 isn’t just about making a great whiskey; it’s about paying tribute to Jerry West and the pride we all feel in West Virginia. This release is more than a bottle—it’s a piece of history.”
