White Wax. Very Olde St. Nick Winter Rye — the winter seasonal counterpart to the Summer Rye, drawing on Kentucky straight rye inventory designated by winter seasonal cycles rather than conventional year counts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the Summer Rye tracks the spirit's most active extraction seasons, the Winter Rye designation marks the contraction cycles — when cold temperatures pull the spirit back from the wood, drawing out the soluble compounds that the summer heat drove into the barrel and creating the ebb and flow of seasonal cycling that defines Kentucky maturation. The interplay between summer expansion and winter contraction is what gives Kentucky bourbon and rye their distinctive character; the Winter Rye program honors the cold half of that cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe White Wax seal identifies the premium tier; Lot 8 is the eighth documented batch in the Winter Rye program.
