12 Days of Vice: Crater Lake Rye

Before Prohibition came along and ruined the party, almost every town in America had a distillery, making small batches of the good stuff ready for the locals to consume. With that in mind, the good folks at Bendistillery came out with Crater Lake Rye among many other small bitch libations. Made from 95% rye grain and only the finest of pure Cascade Mountain water, this award winning rye is spicy and rich with persimmon notes, making it a classic American rye whiskey. Don’t take our word for it though; visit them over in Bend, OR on your way to the eponymous Crater Lake and see what it is like to taste a piece of history.
