Palmer's Stretch Rye Whiskey
Bold in spirit yet smooth in character, Palmer’s Stretch Rye Whiskey pays homage to Bluffton’s original “Palmer’s Stretch” — a road once alive with the thunder of hooves and the cheers of a community brought together by tradition. Aged four years and crafted with a balanced rye-forward mash bill, this whiskey captures the energy, history, and grit of the Lowcountry in every sip.
The Grain Blend
A distinctive blend of 56% rye, 32% wheat, and 12% barley, this mash bill brings together spice, warmth, and a touch of sweetness. The rye provides a lively kick, while the wheat and barley smooth the edges for a refined, balanced flavor profile.
The Experience
At 97 proof (48.5% ABV), this rye whiskey delivers a smooth, full-bodied sip with notes of caramel, baking spice, and oak. It opens with warmth, settles with a rich mid-palate, and finishes with a lingering spice that’s as thrilling as the horse races it’s named for.
The Craft
Aged four years in charred white oak barrels, Palmer’s Stretch Rye Whiskey is meticulously crafted for depth and drinkability. The result is a whiskey that’s both spirited and sophisticated — honoring tradition while showcasing modern Lowcountry craftsmanship.
The Tribute
Named for George Bell Palmer, a Black businessman whose name graced Bluffton’s historic horse-racing road, Palmer’s Stretch Rye Whiskey celebrates the untold stories of resilience and joy that shaped the Lowcountry. It’s more than a spirit — it’s a salute to heritage, history, and the race that never ends: the pursuit of greatness.
