Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey Sherry Cask Finished

Minor Case Straight Rye is a sherry cask finished rye whiskey from Limestone Branch Distillery — bottled at 90 proof, with the sherry finish lending a smooth mouthfeel and sweet, earthy character. A tribute to Minor Case Beam, the distilling forebear of Limestone Branch’s founders.

Minor Case Beam was a member of the Beam distilling family whose production was silenced by Prohibition. His great-grandsons revived his name with this release, exploring what his rye might have become. The sherry cask finish sets it apart from standard straight ryes, adding sweetness and a soft, rounded texture.
