Hemingway Whiskey Company has officially launched its highly anticipated flagship rye whiskey, Hemingway Rye Whiskey Signature Edition. The release marks a significant moment for the company, as it represents the coming together of three families, eight generations, and one mission: to tell a new story, rich in history, through the creation of high-quality Kentucky rye whiskey.

Drawing inspiration from the legendary American author, journalist, and storyteller, Ernest Hemingway, the new whiskey aims to capture the essence of his legacy. The Hemingway family has been actively involved in the development of the brand, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of the writer and providing inspiration for the team.

Steve Groth, founder of Hemingway Whiskey Company, and the Groth family have played a pivotal role in bringing the brand to life. With Steve’s background as a whiskey pioneer and co-founder of Angel’s Envy Bourbon, the Groth family brings rich storytelling and authentic promotion to the table.

The Call family, led by Seventh-Generation Master Distiller Ron Call and his sons Clayton Call and Jacob Call, contribute their expertise in sourcing, blending, and finishing the rye whiskey. With roots dating back to the late 1700s, the Call family has a deep passion for distilling, tradition, and crafting high-quality spirits.

The Signature Edition is a blend of straight rye whiskeys, with 90% 6-year-old Indiana Straight Rye and 10% 4-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye. Master Distiller Jacob Call then finishes both whiskeys in his own rum-seasoned Oloroso Sherry casks, resulting in a balanced combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The whiskey boasts a robust 102 proof and a dark amber color, with notes of dried fruits, raisins, toasted nuts, nutmeg, cocoa, and a hint of citrus zest.

Judges at the ASCOT Awards praised the Signature Edition, describing it as a “lovely, lovely whiskey” with a “beautiful balance” between warm, spicy flavors and the influence of the wine barrel. Master Distiller Jacob Call highlights the smoothness and complexity of the whiskey, noting that the sweetness from the rum-seasoned Oloroso Sherry casks softens the spice.

Hemingway Rye Whiskey will find its home at the Western Kentucky Distilling Co. in Beaver Dam, Kentucky, co-founded by Jacob Call. The distillery takes pride in supporting the local economy by purchasing equipment in the state and using locally grown Kentucky corn.

The presentation of the whiskey is equally impressive, with a custom bottle featuring a typewriter key design and Ernest Hemingway’s signature. The label also proudly displays the signatures of the esteemed Call Family, symbolizing their dedication and commitment to the craft.

As the Hemingway Whiskey Company continues its journey, fans of Hemingway Rye Whiskey can look forward to future visits to the distillery in Beaver Dam. Here, they will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the passion and craftsmanship that goes into each bottle of this exceptional whiskey.

In conclusion, the launch of Hemingway Rye Whiskey Signature Edition is an exciting milestone for Hemingway Whiskey Company and the culmination of the combined efforts of the Hemingway, Groth, and Call families. With each bottle, the company tells a new story, preserving the rich history and legacy of Kentucky whiskey while offering a truly exceptional drinking experience.
