Modern Ancient’s high rye whiskey is an exemplary expression of the brand’s ethos to craft light California-style whiskey that celebrates heirloom grains in collaboration with the farms that grow them. Organically grown red corn, produced by regenerative farming legend Fritz Durst in Yolo County, California, provides a rich canvas of sweet umami while Abruzzi rye (a low starch variety prized for its hugely aromatics oils) grown by James Beard winner Farmer Mai in Sonoma offers heaps of herbaceous spice.
