Distiller's Notes

Named after the Three Stooges skit "Out West," Old Homicide is the foundation of the distillery, the very first mash bill created by Ernest Scarano Jr. This high-proof, small-batch rye is bottled without chill filtration, keeping every ounce of flavor and texture exactly as it came from the barrel.

 

Aged for 4 years in new white charred oak barrels, at 140 Proof, it remains surprisingly soft. The nose is heavy with butterscotch, vanilla, and oak, leading into a dense, full-bodied palate. While bold, it trades the expected burn for a deep, rounded sweetness and rich spice. It hits with authority but stays composed, ending in a long, resonant finish.

​

As the name suggests: "to die for."
