Distillerie Acadian Horyezon Louisiana Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, spice-forward rye whiskey crafted with 67% rye and 20% Louisiana corn, bottled-in-bond at 100 proof. This non-chill filtered expression balances the signature peppery bite of rye with subtle sweetness from locally-sourced corn, creating a complex flavor profile with notes of caramel and vanilla.
Distillerie Acadian brings authentic Cajun craftsmanship to American whiskey production from their New Iberia distillery in Louisiana's bayou country. Founded on principles of traditional distillation methods and regional pride, they source local Louisiana corn to create distinctly Southern expressions of classic American whiskey styles.
