Reinheart Rye Whiskey

A rye whiskey with a name promising purity and heart in every drop. Behind the bottle is a Danish-German collaboration between experienced industry veterans who set out to create a rye with a clear identity of its own. The result is spicy, robust, and released in small batches that rarely taste quite the same from one release to the next.

    Item no.: 222275555-8864

    Cask #2 is one of two bottlings from Reinheart's 2015 distillation — this barrel at 56.8%. A bourbon-inspired rye whiskey from a Danish-German collaboration, aged 7 years in a Toast M / Char 4 American oak cask.

    Expert description

    Reinheart Rye Whiskey Cask #2 2022 is a Danish Rye Whiskey at 56.8%, distilled in Germany in 2015 and bottled in December 2022 as a Single Cask from Cask #2, in a limited run of 250 numbered bottles. The mashbill is 70% rye, 20% corn and 10% malted barley. Matured in an American virgin oak cask (Toast M / Char 4) at Vintre Møller in Central Zealand, Denmark. Bottled by Hammer & Son. The founders of the project came up with the idea after a pub crawl in 2012, aiming to make a classic rye whiskey in the bourbon tradition.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh rye, vanilla and oak. Light spice notes — cinnamon, black pepper — with a soft honey character from the oak maturation.

    Palate

    Balanced and spicy. Rye dominates with its characteristic dryness, but the oak's vanilla and caramel are present. Marginally softer than Cask #3 at 56.8%.

    Finish

    Long and dry. The spice holds and the oak closes with a rounded note.

About Reinheart Rye Whiskey

Reinheart Rye is a rye whiskey series whose name combines the words 'pure' and 'heart' as a nod to honest, unadulterated production. For newcomers, it's an accessible way into rye whiskey's spicy, robust style, while connoisseurs appreciate the craft approach and the Danish-German collaboration behind the bottle.

History & background

Reinheart Rye Whiskey is a Danish project in which the raw spirit is distilled in Germany, while the cask selection and maturation take place at Vintre Mølle Distillery in Denmark – the same distillery behind the cask selection for Hammer & Son's acclaimed Geranium Gin and Old English Gin. The range was developed in collaboration between Terkel Kleist and Kristian Kramp, two experienced industry figures with deep knowledge of whiskey. Like many smaller rye brands, Reinheart works in small batches, meaning availability can vary from year to year, giving each release a touch of exclusivity.

Production & style

The whiskey is distilled from a high proportion of rye and aged in oak casks with a focus on a spiced, robust character.

Signature style

Spiced, Peppery, Full-Bodied
The flavor offers a spiced, peppery character typical of rye whiskey.
