Krampus plays by the rules. The old ones.
Krampus Bottled in Bond Rye is a true 100% rye whiskey - not the 51% the law allows, but all of it.
It begins with rye grown specifically for us by the TeVelde family farm here in Whatcom County, WA, less than 25 miles from our distillery. We mill it ourselves, mash it, and ferment it in traditional open wooden fermenters before distilling, aging, and bottling it under one roof with one thing in mind: letting rye be rye.
The whiskey is aged for more than five years in new American white oak barrels from Independent Stave Company. We insist that each barrel is toasted first to develop deeper layers of flavor, then finished with a No. 3 char. The aged whiskey is bottled without chill filtration, preserving its natural body, texture, and character.
The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was one of the country’s first consumer-protection laws, and it doesn’t leave room to cut corners: one distillery, one distilling season, at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Krampus Rye meets or exceeds every requirement.
This is our first-ever bottled-in-bond rye, but it comes from an established—and highly awarded—rye tradition. Earlier releases of Chuckanut Bay Rye earned 95 points and a Gold Medal at the 2025 New York International Spirits Competition, as well as 91 points and Gold at the 2022 USA Spirits Ratings. This release takes that same grain-to-glass approach one step further resulting in what we believe is the finest rye whiskey our distillery has ever produced.
Structured and unapologetically bold, Krampus Rye leads with peppery rye and deep grain character, then opens into oak, vanilla, maple, and honey. At 100 proof, it has the weight to stand up in a cocktail without disappearing and the balance to drink neat. The finish is dry, warm, and long, with a hint of something slightly sinister...
Made by Chuckanut Bay Distillery, named 2025 Washington Distillery of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition.
How to Drink It
Krampus Bottled in Bond Rye doesn't require much. Pour it neat and let the rye speak for itself, add a big rock if you like, or put its 100-proof backbone to work in a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or any whiskey cocktail that benefits from a little more character.
Then again, there's something to be said for a glass, a bottle, and no particular plan.
No shortcuts. No fillers. Just grain, oak, time, and a little mischief in every bottle.

From farm to barrel
Made entirely in Whatcom County
The rye begins at TeVelde Farm in Whatcom County, then comes to Chuckanut Bay Distillery in Bellingham to be mashed, fermented in traditional wooden washbacks, distilled and matured beneath the distillery.
