Purcellville, VA - rab•ble-rous•er: noun a person who speaks with the intention of inflaming the emotions of a crowd of people, typically for political reasons. synonyms: agitator, troublemaker, instigator Distilled from 100% rye and bottled in bond, the Rabble Rouser differs from its cousin, Roundstone Rye, in that it is distilled at a lower proof, allowing lots of earthy goodness from the grain to come through in the spirit. Today, the whisky is aged for six years, making it among the oldest craft whiskey in the United States presently, and three times the legal age requirement for "straight rye whiskey." "Where Roundstone Rye is sort of restrained and elegant," say Scott Harris, founder of the distillery, "Rabble Rouser is more unruly and vivacious."
