Five & 20 Straight Rye Whiskey

Five & 20 Straight Rye Whiskey is an approachable, small-batch craft spirit engineered for depth and versatility. Distilled from a mash bill of 80% local rye and 20% malted barley, it ages in new charred American white oak barrels. That aging softens the characteristic rye spice with rich notes of caramel, oak char, and baking spices, delivering a balance that works neat, on the rocks, or in classic whiskey cocktails.

The spirit is produced by Five & 20 Spirits & Brewing in Westfield, New York, situated along the agricultural shore of Lake Erie between historic Routes 5 and 20. Operating as New York State's first combined winery, brewery, and distillery, Five & 20 runs a fully integrated grain-to-glass operation. By sourcing grains from neighboring farms and utilizing sustainable, closed-loop production methods, the distillery captures the distinct agricultural terroir of the Chautauqua region in every bottle.
