History

Filibuster Distillery is a woman and minority owned business with the soul of a small family enterprise. Born in D.C. and now located in Virginia, a true American pioneer. The business began on the corner of 9th, not far from the Capitol, so Filibuster was a natural name choice. They wanted to lampoon the intensity of the political culture in D.C. Maybe if everyone just talked it out over a few drinks, things would go more smoothly?

Description

The advantages of the “Dual Cask” aging method are really noticeable with Rye. We utilize the soft, post-fermentation components of white wine to impart aroma and texture. When these 2-3 year old French oak barrels are emptied, and our Rye goes in for its “Dual Cask” aging period. The result is a rich, round, velvety-smooth Rye Whiskey, with none of the harsh “grassy” character that sometimes can detract from the enjoyment of Rye.

The Filibuster Dual Cask Rye mash bill is composed of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. After initial maturation in new charred American oak casks, two-to-three-year-old ex-chardonnay French oak barrels are used for the final aging process. Filibuster Dual Cask Rye is bottled at 90 proof.
