Raconteur Rye - Gemini I (Indiana)

In a nod to the first two batches of Raconteur Rye, eight-year-old Indiana 95/5 rye whiskey was meticulously finished in Mizunara oak, 48-month cured & toasted American oak, and ex Indiana 51% rye barrels to create “Gemini I.”

Raconteur Rye “Gemini I” presumes a seemingly familiar Indiana 95/5 plot, while packed with exciting twists and turns thanks to the variety of finishing casks employed.

Raconteur Rye “Gemini I” is composed of the following whiskeys:

• 95/5 Indiana straight rye finished in Mizunara casks
• 95/5 Indiana straight rye finished in 48-month cured & toasted American oak
• 95/5 Indiana straight rye finished in “barely legal” IN rye barrels
