Gunpowder Rye Whiskey is named for the Gunpowder River in northeastern Maryland, the location of the post-Prohibition family distillery. Gunpowder is a spicy Maryland style rye, distilled from rye and malted barley and matured in new American oak barrels. This whiskey enters with flavors of rye grain and cinnamon, builds with baking spice, clove, and sassafras and finishes with toasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and vanilla.
