Old Potrero Rye Whiskey California Cellar Series Gundlach Bundschu 5 Year 8 Months 114.6

Nose: A vibrant bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, sweet caramel, fresh-cut grass, and exotic lychee, evoking both whiskey tradition and wine elegance.

Palate: Rich notes of candied caramel and honeydew melon lead into a wave of tropical fruit—mango, papaya, and a touch of white grape—carried by the natural spice of rye grain.

Finish: Lingering and refined, with floral undertones, ginger root heat, and a subtle return of fruit—delicate, yet satisfyingly complex.

Neat or with a few drops of water to unlock the layered fruit and floral tones from the Gewürztraminer cask finish.

In a high-end whiskey sour, using fresh citrus and minimal sugar to allow the tropical notes to shine.

Paired with food, try alongside aged goat cheese, charcuterie, or even spicy Asian dishes to contrast and complement its ginger and lychee elements.

For a tasting experience, enjoy next to a chilled glass of Gundlach Bundschu Gewürztraminer for a true exploration of this collaboration's origin.

This is a rye that redefines expectations—intense yet delicate, traditional yet experimental—a true California original.
