Crater Lake Spirits announced the launch of its newest creation: Crater Lake Cherry Rye Whiskey. 

This unique offering combines the character of the brand’s Reserve Rye Whiskey with the rich, natural fruit character and sweetness of cherry liqueur made from Rainier and Bing cherries, sourced from the lush orchards of Washington State. 

Cherry Rye Whiskey is a celebration of the Pacific Northwest’s bounty, capturing the essence of ripe cherries and pairing it with the warm, peppery notes of rye for a perfectly balanced, full-bodied spirit. 

“Crater Lake Cherry Rye Whiskey is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation,” Jim Bendis, distillery founder, said in a news release. “We wanted to create something that reflects the spirit of the Northwest, and these cherries deliver an unmistakable depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with our handcrafted rye whiskey.”

Oregon customers can find Cherry Rye Whiskey in select Oregon liquor stores under item #12309B.
