Partnership Between Beverly Spirits and Cedar Ridge Distillery
The Beverly High Rye is a partnership between Beverly Spirits and Cedar Ridge Distillery. This award-winning craft distillery is a family-owned distillery, based in Swisher, Iowa and founded by Jeff Quint. Cedar Ridge is the first distillery to open in Iowa since Prohibition, preserving a generational legacy of fine craftsmanship that reflects a Midwestern mindset putting production first, favoring quality over quantity. The Distiller has garnered a reputation for producing award-winning American whiskeys since its founding in 2005, and is widely recognized for winning the prestigious Distillery of the Year Award from the American Distilling Institute in 2017.
The Beverly High Rye was created to capture the essence and luxury of one of America’s most iconic spirit’s, whiskey. Cedar Ridge’s legacy, passion, and commitment to quality instantly stood out as the best distillery to bring this vision to life. We are proud to release a fine whiskey that tastes and feels every bit as luxurious and hard working as the lifestyle that inspired it and people who crafted it.
Andrew Borenzweig, Founder of The Beverly
From grain to glass, each batch of this masterful blend of straight whiskeys is artisanally crafted and stands apart as the most luxurious name in American whiskey. The Beverly High Rye exudes magnificence with its deep copper color and highly unique complex flavor profile. The whiskey features a rich mouthfeel with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar and finishes with candied pecans, caramel and toffee.
