Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a straight rye whiskey from Cooper Spirits Co., distilled and barreled in May 1999 and aged for 21 years in new charred American oak before bottling at 111 proof (55.5% ABV). The nose opens on treacle toffee, bright orange peel and warm spiced cake. The full-bodied palate brings lush caramel and dark, cocoa-like richness, then a gentle cinnamon warmth on the finish. The flavor tags still list rye spice alongside the oak, so the grain hasn't been lost beneath the wood. It suits the collector or seasoned rye drinker who wants to taste what two decades in the barrel does to the grain, and it makes a memorable centerpiece for a tasting night with fellow enthusiasts. We carry it because rye with this much age is genuinely rare, and because this one rewards slow, attentive sipping. Pour it neat and give it time in the glass. The toffee, citrus and spice keep shifting as it sits.
Pairs well with
- High-quality dark chocolate — Dark chocolate brings out the whiskey's cocoa and caramel notes and makes them richer on the palate.
- A cozy fireside evening — Its full body and warming cinnamon finish suit a slow, contemplative pour on a cold night.
- Whiskey tasting with enthusiasts — Set beside other aged whiskeys, its treacle toffee, orange peel and spiced-cake character stands out.
