New York Distilling Company, Jaywalk Small Batch Straight Rye Whiskey, NV core-no-restrictions Fermented and aged partially inThe backbone of this whiskey is Horton, a seventeenth century New York rye that had effectively vanished until New York Distilling Company got ten seeds from Cornell and worked with Pedersen Farms in Seneca Falls to grow it back out. Jaywalk blends that heirloom grain with the distillery's own organic Field Race rye, both from the Finger Lakes, distilled in Brooklyn by a company founded in 2011 by Allen Katz and Tom Potter and now housed in Bushwick.
