The Same Distinctive Rye That’s Earning Rave Reviews

Inside: Built on a purist mash bill with no corn to blur its identity, this rye stays in its lane — delivering vibrant spice, herbal brightness and savory depth, all with a surprisingly smooth finish. It's bold, structured and unmistakably rye.

Outside: A limited-edition bottle with racing-inspired striping, checkered-flag accents and handwritten batch and bottle numbers — designed to stand out, just like the rye inside.

Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Pecan Wood

“Bold, structured and built to go the distance. The Founder's 500 Rye delivers complexity with every sip — no shortcuts, no detours.”

— The Whiskey Wayfarer

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright and expressive with notes of cracked pepper, spearmint, and rye spice leading the way. Hints of toasted grain, pine, and old-fashioned hard candy give it a crisp, herbal lift with a savory edge.

Palate

Lush and layered with spiced honey, fresh mint and the bite of black pepper. Notes of gingerbread, clove, and toasted rye crumble evolve into deeper tones of molasses, caraway and charred oak. Balanced, dry and full of texture.

Finish

Long and steady. Herbal and spice-driven with flashes of dark toffee and menthol. The rye grain lingers, joined by a subtle smoky note and just a hint of stone fruit on the fade.

Color

Deep copper with amber undertones — rich, reflective and true to its rye character.
