Flagship Rye: Maryland Rye Single Malt

Made with rye grown and malted in Frederick, Tenth Ward’s Maryland Rye is distilled from a 100% malted rye mash bill. Bold and unapologetically rye-forward, it brings jammy notes of plum and chocolate malt, a boom of pepper in the center, and a dry, malty finish. Go rye or go home, right?

100% Malted Rye
