Devils Bit Fall 2025

Aged 13 years and 3 months, this rye whiskey greets you with aromas of sweet toasted oak, candied walnut and leather. On the palate the body is medium to light with a surprisingly long, lingering finish. Notes of dark chocolate, oatmeal with honey, pepper and warm oak round out the tasting experience.

The Backstory
Back in 2012 at the genesis of this Devils Bit, we were just developing our rye recipe. Being all too aware of the defiant and sticky nature of rye, we were carefully crafting a 51% rye mash. Ryes have a tendency to clog equipment, so we were comfortable at that ratio of rye to barley, which still meant it was a rye whiskey.

This 51% recipe was an early triumph, and we were bolstered by the success, daring to increase the rye in our mash – with only the occasional stuck brew. Around that time, we started looking for barrels to make our spirits more unique, and lucky us! We found a cooperage that uses high quality Oregon oak, making this local spirit even more local. The thing about Oregon oak versus charred American oak is the time it takes the spirit to integrate and highlight the unique components of this particular wood. But after 13 years, our patience has been rewarded with exceptional flavors and aromas. We bring you Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Devils Bit 2025!
