Vinifera | Wine to Whiskey

Join us at Vinifera for a guided rye whiskey tasting designed for guests who appreciate bold character, layered flavor, and a more distinctive whiskey experience.Rye whiskey is made from at least 51% rye grain, which gives it its signature profile, spiced, dry, and full of depth. Compared to other whiskeys, rye often brings more pepper, cinnamon, herbal notes, and warmth to the glass, balanced by touches of caramel, oak, and subtle sweetness. This tasting is a chance to explore how different producers interpret those qualities, from smooth and approachable to rich, full-bodied, and intensely expressive.During this tasting, guests will sample four rye whiskeys, each selected to highlight a different side of the category:Sazerac Rye, 100 Proof Aromatic and balanced, with notes of clove, vanilla, anise, and pepper. On the palate, subtle candied spice and citrus lead into a smooth finish with hints of licorice.Thomas H. Handy Rye Bold, lush, and deeply spiced, with notes of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon, and clove. The finish is long and warm, with touches of allspice, coconut, and nutmeg.River Roots Occular 3x Rye A sweeter, fruit-forward expression with notes of golden raisin, citrus, and green apple, layered with baking spice, cocoa, and a rich, viscous texture. Its long finish brings lingering caramel and toasted oak.Basil Hayden Dark Rye A softer, more approachable style with a smooth texture and notes of dried fruit, cherry, and caramel. This unique blend offers a sweeter, more rounded take on rye whiskey.Whether you already enjoy rye or are looking to expand your palate, this tasting offers a relaxed and welcoming way to compare styles, learn more about the category, and enjoy an afternoon at Vinifera.Space is limited, so early reservations are encouraged.
