Native son Micah Melton left Davenport to become one of the world's foremost cocktail innovators at Grant Achatz's Aviary Cocktail Bar in Chicago and NYC. Micah brought a little home along with him as he features special hand picked barrel selections of our Cody Road Rye at both his Chicago and NYC locations. Micah has been a key player in assembling the Aviary Cocktail Book, a collection of amazingly creative cocktails. The Aviary Cocktail Book brings them to life with stunning photography and detailed chemistry to blow your mind and your bar. You'll even find Cody Road Rye in the book hiding "in the rocks" of one of Micah's recipes. Meet Micah and purchase a copy of his book as they say thanks to one of the world's best right at the distillery. Then stay tuned for special limited edition collaboration bottles from Micah and MRDC later this year.
