The newest addition to Far North’s single varietal offerings, we were able to get our hands on a few bottles of the Oklon Rye. Oklon was bred and developed by Oklahoma State University in 1993. In the field, it’s taller than most modern varieties (>5 ft!) and thus more susceptible to lodging, and having been bred further south, produces lower yields in the harsh Minnesota climate. Oklon develops a distinctive flavor profile that noses with sandalwood, caramel and fresh nutmeg, makes a bright introduction on the palate with toffee and cinnamon, and lingers on the finish with heather and buckwheat honey.
