Jon Rye Wanted – Slovak whiskey that breaks with tradition
A new product has appeared on the Slovak market that is not afraid to go against the grain. Jon Rye Wanted is a brand new whiskey from Nicolaus that does not try to compete with Scottish or Irish legends with their history and myths. Instead of endless stories about pedigree and old barrels, it brings something bolder – a pure taste and a rebellious attitude.
How did it actually come about?
The idea of creating a Slovak whiskey without the "mandatory" origin or history arose as a reaction to a saturated market where every brand builds on a legend older than the consumer themselves. The creators of Jon Rye said clearly: "We have no tradition. And that is our advantage."
Instead of looking for artificial stories, they built the entire brand on the power of silence and simplicity. Jon Rye is a whiskey for those who don't want to be lectured—they don't want to know how to drink it, when to drink it, or with whom to drink it. Just taste it and enjoy every moment.
Production process – 100 % rye, honest distillation
Behind the signature taste of Jon Rye is 100 % continental rye, which gives the distillate its spicy structure and robustness. The whiskey undergoes double distillation in copper stills, which gives it fullness, depth, and a delicate balance.
Place of origin? Slovakia. But the brand does not talk about this openly – intentionally. In a category where "where you come from" often determines your status, Jon Rye relies on silence and lets only its content speak for itself.
Taste profile – when silence speaks loudly
The whiskey opens with vanilla softness and fruity notes of peaches and apricots, which gradually combine with the characteristic spiciness of rye. Although it has a bold, distinctive profile, Jon Rye remains highly drinkable – it is easy to understand, yet unforgettable.
In your glass, you will find the ideal combination – a whiskey that you can enjoy "at ease" with friends, but also a spirit that will surprise you with its complexity when tasted on its own.
Who is it for?
Jon Rye is a whiskey for men aged 20 to 50 who don't want to pretend to be experts. It's not about gathering knowledge or giving lectures—it's about the moment, the ritual.
It is a drink for those who seek quiet strength – inspired by movie heroes like Clint Eastwood or John Dutton. For those who know that "a strong gesture needs few words."
