More questions
The Whisky Rye of Few is born in the heart of Illinois, an emerging region for quality craft spirits, celebrating the American tradition of rye whisky. Characterized by a robust and complex profile, this Rye uses a fine blend of rye, corn, and barley, carefully fermented and distilled. The aging takes place in American oak barrels, which impart harmonious notes of vanilla, spices, and a hint of toasted wood.
On the nose, it opens with intense hints of black pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of honey, accompanied by light hints of dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a full and warm body, with a perfect balance between the characteristic spiciness of rye and buttery sweetness, culminating in a persistent and spicy finish.
It pairs beautifully with smoked meat dishes, aged cheeses, and classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, highlighting the versatility of this craft whisky.

The story
Founded in 2011 by Paul Hletko, FEW Spirits began as a grain-to-glass operation in the Chicago suburb of Evanston and became known as one of the first modern distilleries in the area after Prohibition. The brand draws inspiration from local history (including the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and Evanston's temperance background) and has developed a range of craft whiskies and gins, with multiple releases and musical collaborations.
Distillation
Grain-to-glass production with a Vendome column for the base spirit; a hybrid still (~1,500 L) is used for some whiskey finishing stages and a pot still (~150 L) for the gin. Small-batch production.
Ageing
Aging in charred American oak barrels for bourbon and rye expressions; some releases use air-dried or new, charred American oak; there are finishes in ex-tequila, ex-rum and ex-vermouth casks for particular releases.
