	Where Healdsburg, California
	What Lost Republic Rye is known for being a bright and fruity rye. Because it’s blended and aged in the cool wine country of Healdsburg, it trades the heavy charcoal burn of some Kentucky ryes for a profile that feels more like a spiced orchard fruit. It is very fragrant. You’ll get a big hit of grapefruit zest and raspberries, followed by savory notes of tobacco leaf and ginger. It has a lovely sweet-to-spicy transition. It starts with cherry and toffee sweetness, but then the 95% rye mash bill kicks in with a wave of clove and black pepper. Because they use barrels that were air-dried rather than kiln-dried, the wood tannins are softer. This results in a creamy vanilla flavor that rounds out the spicy edges. It ends with a long, soft snap of red pepper and cinnamon, leaving a lingering taste of toasted oak and fruit.
	Why The name Lost Republic refers to the California Republic of 1846 (the Bear Flag Revolt). It’s a nod to California’s brief history as an independent nation. The brand positions itself as a rebel spirit—taking traditional Kentucky styles and making them "the California way" with better wood and a focus on terroir.
