Frequently Asked Questions

What is Five Square Mile whiskey?

Five Square Mile is the American-distilled whiskey label in the Bickford's Group family. The Rye Whiskey is built on 95% rye malt, delivering a balance of sweet oak and natural rye spice with cinnamon, toffee and fresh clove on the nose. Its bourbon stablemate matures for three years, showing classic caramel and vanilla lifted by a 5% rye component.

Has Five Square Mile won awards?

Yes — the 5 Square Mile Bourbon Whiskey won a Gold medal at the USA Spirits Ratings in 2023.

What is the difference between rye whiskey and bourbon?

The difference is the grain. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives it a rounder, sweeter profile of caramel and vanilla. Rye whiskey is at least 51% rye — Five Square Mile's is 95% — which brings a drier, spicier character with pepper, cinnamon and clove notes. Rye typically makes a sharper Manhattan or Old Fashioned; bourbon a softer, sweeter one.

How should I drink Five Square Mile Rye?

Best served neat or with a splash of water to open the spice. It also makes an excellent Manhattan, Sazerac or Old Fashioned, where the high rye content stands up to sweet vermouth and bitters rather than being overwhelmed by them.
