Celebrate the Anniversary of Prohibition's End by Drinking Rye Whiskey
December 5th is Repeal Day, the day America abolished the law that had banned the sale and transport of alcohol for thirteen years. Redemption Whiskey's Joe Riggs (a.k.a. The Rye Guy) joins us with a guide on how to celebrate the historic day. He reveals how people in the 1930's celebrated the news, and explains how modern drinkers can commemorate the anniversary today.
Riggs walks us through the distinction between rye and bourbon. He clarifies what types of whiskeys qualify as rye, and gives some history of the drink's all-American roots. Redemption Rye is aged for an average of two and a half years and is proofed to 92%.
Finally, Riggs demos how to make a drink reminiscent of the ones sipped in Prohibition-era speakeasies. There's even a way to celebrate that doesn't involve drinking at all. Redemption is partnering with New York's The Doughnut Plant on a rye-infused treat.
