Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky rye with real muscle and real polish: a straight rye from a rye-dominant mash bill, aged seven years in new charred oak and bottled at 100 proof. The nose leans surprisingly creamy, with vanilla bean, tiramisu and milk chocolate lifted by orange peel, lemon and fresh rye. On the palate the rye spice comes forward first, then deep red fruit, pepper and chocolate, settling into plum tart and caramel apple before a long finish of baked fruit tart, coffee and spice. That pairing of bold spice with dessert-like richness is what sets it apart on the shelf. It suits the bourbon drinker ready to explore rye, and it gives the seasoned rye fan an age-stated small batch bottle worth sipping slowly. It also earns its keep behind the bar, standing up to sweet vermouth in a Manhattan without losing its character. We carry it because it is a dependable, flavorful rye that rewards both the neat pour and the mixing glass.
Pairs well with
- Rich chocolate cake — The whiskey's milk chocolate and coffee notes echo the cake while its rye spice cuts through the richness.
- Pecan pie — Caramel apple, vanilla and baked fruit tart flavors in the glass mirror the pie's buttery, nutty sweetness.
- After-dinner Manhattan hour — At 100 proof, its bold rye spice and dark fruit hold their own against sweet vermouth and bitters.
