Master Distiller Eric Meech, at Blue Ridge Distilling, applies the same ambitious approach to crafting Defiant Rye Whisky as he does with Defiant American Single Malt. The key to this exceptional whisky lies in the use of just four top-quality ingredients: unfiltered pure mountain spring water, specially cultivated yeast, malted rye, and American toasted white oak.

Defiant brings about a transformation in the distillation process by merging the excellence of Scottish tradition with American innovation. They commence with the highest-quality components and culminate in a novel form of spirit. Defiant represents a fresh approach to distillation, free from the constraints of barrels, established recipes, or conventional practices. Their approach relies on top-notch ingredients, the influence of Mother Nature, and intuitive craftsmanship. Their commitment is to employ only four ingredients, nothing more. It all starts with excellence, and it concludes with excellence.
