Man of Leisure
Straight Rye Whiskey
This whiskey is fully allocated and sold out online. Man of Leisure is the 100 proof version of our San Francisco World Spirits Competition 96 out of 100-point Double Gold Cask Strength Rye, The Diplomat.
As a young man, Ben Franklin tried to arrive at “moral perfection” by following a checklist just like the one on the front of this bottle. Each time he violated one of his 13 virtues he would put a mark in that box for the day. His first virtue, temperance: eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation, is one that tends to cause issues for many, so we made your life easy by checking those boxes for you.
Interestingly, Franklin became a “man of leisure” (retired in today’s words) by the age of 42 years old. Cheers to you doing the same. To those over 42, or to those addicted to the game like so many of us, you’re in good company. Regardless give yourself a momentary taste of leisure with what many consider the perfected rye mash bill of 95% rye, 5% malted barley.
Fully Allocated and Sold Out Online. Brought to you with a standard beyond bottled in bond, we believe MAN OF LEISURE is one of the most impressive rye whiskey offerings on the market.
