As the craft spirits world ages, so does their product. Companies that started out from day one with unaged spirits or moonshine are starting to bring aged product to market. Such is the case for Sugarlands Distilling, a craft spirits maker known for its moonshine and its prime location in downtown Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Sugarlands Distilling Company recently released their newest spirit – Roaming Man Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey. This is the companies’ first aged spirit produced since the distillery officially opened in March of 2014. The new release is bottled at a cask strength of 123.4 proof.

“We’re excited to enter the aged whiskey arena with Roaming Man,” said Head Distiller Greg Eidam. “From the beginning, we decided not to source an aged whiskey and have patiently distilled and aged our own unique expressions.”

The first edition of Roaming Man was released for presale in November 2016 and sold out within hours.  The company plans to expand its aged whiskey operation in 2017 by continuing to create unique mash bills and traditional whiskeys.

“After years of working on our whiskey project, we are very excited to be able to release an incredible straight rye whiskey finally. Just like our award-winning rye distillate, our company is maturing with time,” Eidam said.

Sugarlands Distilling Co. will be releasing their second batch of Roaming Man Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey in July 2017. Presale will begin on May 29, 2017. Purchasers will be able to pick up their second edition Roaming Man Whiskey between July 1 and October 1, 2017.
