Straight Rye Whiskey

Category: Straight Rye Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 55%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of cream corn with a side of mac n’ cheese and extra ground pepper, singed rye bread, and peach wood in the smoker with brisket with a silky, soft, dry medium-to-full body and a peppery, complex, long finish with notes of black pepper venison jerky, grilled herbs on parchment paper, and mocha and coffee bean. The ABV packs a punch but layers of complexity and delicious flavors make this a go-to for Rye cocktails.
