The third limited-edition of the Legacy Series, the expression is based on a reconstructed Maryland-style rye mash bill. The blend of 60% Rye (a blend of 8- to 12-year-old 95/5 rye sourced from Indiana),  30% Corn (20- to 25-year-old Canadian corn whiskey) and 10% Malt (an 8-year-old American single malt from Virginia)  is a sophisticated, modern reimagining of that mash bill, blending rare and aged stocks of whiskeys. The result is a 115.7 proof spirit.

“Before bourbon there was rye,” says Whiskey JYPSI Whiskey Maker Ari Sussman. “Rye was the whiskey of revolutionaries, and Maryland Style Rye was what George Washington himself distilled at Mount Vernon. It balanced rye’s characteristic spice with the sweetness of corn, and that balance is what we set out to create.”

“When Eric and I started JYPSI, we said we would have no rules other than producing the best products we could regardless of complexity or cost,” adds Whiskey JYPSI Co-Founder Raj Alva. Sourcing from one of the oldest and most historic distilleries in America to produce “The Declaration” is a perfect example of that spirit.”

Whisky JYPSI Legacy Batch 003: The Declaration is available for $199.99.
