"Truly born behind the bar in Nashville, Standard Proof Whiskey Co. offers an imaginative lineup of Creative Director Robert Longhurst’s craft-infused rye whiskey that was originally created as a well-kept secret, shared only among fellow bartenders and regular patrons. The Red Eye Rye that launched it all starts as a 95-percent rye-based Southern American whiskey, which is aged for 12 to 18 months in new American oak barrels. They then infuse it with ground coffee beans for around 10 to 12 weeks before bottling." - Delia Jo Ramsey
