Why Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye Whiskey Stands Out
Pursuit United Double Oaked Rye Whiskey is a premium rye whiskey from the United States that starts as a blended straight rye whiskey, then gets a second oak maturation to build extra depth. Made by Pursuit Spirits, this “double oaked” approach brings in added French oak influence for richer toasted notes and darker sweetness—while keeping rye’s natural spice and brightness in the lead.
Bottled at 108 proof (54% ABV) in a 700mL format, it’s built for a fuller mouthfeel and a longer finish without tipping out of balance. If you like rye that feels bold and structured, this one is made for your shelf.
Process & Profile
This rye-forward expression begins as a blended straight rye whiskey. The “double oaked” component comes from a secondary maturation designed to deepen flavor and add structure. That second oak touch—featuring French oak influence—pushes the profile toward toasted oak and darker sweetness, while still letting the bright, peppery rye character show through.
What You’ll Notice First
The bottle has a clean, modern look with bold “Pursuit” lettering across the glass and a simple “United” label that calls out “Double Oaked Rye.” The whiskey itself pours a rich amber color that hints at the extra oak time and the deeper, toasted style waiting in the glass.
