Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a rye built around its grain. The mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley, aged at least two years in new charred oak barrels, and you can taste that rye-forward recipe from the first pour. Expect rye spice and cinnamon on the nose over caramel, vanilla and toasted oak. The palate turns peppery, with clove and baking spice, before a warm, lingering finish of black pepper, oak and a touch of vanilla. It belongs to Bardstown Bourbon Company's Rye Whiskey Collaborative Series, which highlights rye whiskey from different regions of the United States. That makes this West Virginia edition a natural pick for collectors following the series. It also suits drinkers who already know they like spice and want a high-rye bottle that holds its shape in a Manhattan. We carry it because it shows clearly what a collaboration-driven rye can be: bold and spicy, with enough caramel sweetness to keep it balanced and keep you coming back.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate — The bitterness of dark chocolate plays against the rye's caramel sweetness and draws out its clove and baking spice.
- Smoked meats — Smoky, savory meats stand up to the peppery rye grain and echo the toasted oak on the finish.
- Manhattan cocktail hour — The spicy, cinnamon-led profile gives a Manhattan a firm backbone that sweet vermouth and bitters can build on.

What is the best way to drink it?
Try it neat in a Glencairn and let it rest a few minutes so the spice and oak can open up. A few drops of water softens the pepper and brings the caramel forward. It also makes a strong Manhattan: two parts rye, one part sweet vermouth and a dash of bitters.
