Meadville
Rye Whiskey
Meadville Rye Whiskey is distilled using the original recipe, created in the late 1800s.
This is true Pennsylvania rye—crafted as it was when rye reigned as America’s whiskey of choice, and those from this region ruled them all.
It begins with the grain: locally grown rye and barley—nothing more. No corn. No wheat. Fermented with fresh yeast, we create a sweet mash that demands greater care than the common sour mash. It’s a slower, more deliberate process. But for us, precision is the point.
Meadville Rye is bottled in bond.
Meadville Rye is distilled solely at our facility—never blended, never sourced. Aged no less than four years at 100 proof, it is bottled in bond and true to its origin. The result is striking. On the nose, you’ll find warm notes of walnut bread and blackjack sugar—like the caramelized crust of a crème brûlée.
The palate opens with classic rye bread, vanilla, and toasted oak, layered with rich caramel and a hint of nutty smoke. A touch of cinnamon lifts the front, while a bright thread of tangerine lingers at the finish.
Big, structured, and deeply expressive—Meadville Rye is a whiskey to contemplate, not consume.
