Ogden’s Own Distillery’s gears started turning in the early 2000s when founder Tim Smith was fiddling with recipes. He landed on a recipe that would become their Underground Herbal Spirit. With a product in hand, Tim needed a distillery to back it. With some help from Steve Conlin, they opened the doors to Ogden’s Own Distillery in 2009.
In pre-Prohibition America, rye whiskey was the drink of choice. In recent years, the American spirit is undergoing a resurgence. To honor rye's legacy, Ogden's Own Distillery distills their Porter's Small Batch Rye. Ogden's Own pairs their signature Ogden Canyon water with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% barely. After distillation, the craft whiskey is aged for three years in heavily charred new oak barrels. Bold burst of rye spice populatePorter's Small Batch Rye.
The rye and barley flavors of this small-batch whiskey meet with the coffee and unsweetened cocoa in this chocolate cake perfectly!
