The story behind it

The maker

Ammunition was created by Andy and Bill of Daylight Wine & Spirits to produce outstanding craft spirits that celebrate American trailblazers. They use wine-cask finishing techniques in Sonoma, California, to deliver a smoother, more complex profile to classic whiskey styles.

How it is made

Crafted in Sonoma, this straight rye is distilled from a traditional 95% rye mash bill and aged in charred American oak before finishing. The finishing step takes place in French oak casks that previously held award-winning Pinot Noir wine.
