Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky straight rye selected one barrel at a time and bottled unblended at cask strength, so each bottle carries the nuances of the cask it came from. Made by James B. Beam Distilling Co. from a rye-dominant mash bill, it pours a deep amber and opens with herbs, rye spice and charred oak, sweetened by honey and vanilla with a curious hint of dill. The palate is full-bodied and bold, with pronounced rye spice over caramel and toasted oak, and pepper and baking spice weaving through honey. The finish runs long, warm and dry, its spice balanced by oak and vanilla. It suits the drinker who already loves rye and wants it at full intensity, and it rewards the collector who enjoys comparing barrel-to-barrel character. Newcomers may find it intense neat, but a large cube softens the spice and lets the sweeter notes step forward. We carry it because single barrel selection is about individuality, and this bottle delivers character you can actually taste.
Pairs well with
- Pastrami on rye — The whiskey's black pepper and hint of dill echo the peppery crust and pickle-bright edge of the sandwich.
- Pecan pie with caramel — Caramel, honey and vanilla in the glass meet the dessert's sweetness while the rye spice keeps each bite from turning cloying.
- Barrel comparison tasting night — Because every barrel carries its own nuances, pouring it beside another single barrel bottle makes the herbal, oak and spice differences easy to explore.
