Country: USA

Region:

Type: Rye Whiskey

Bottler: Proof and Wood Ventures

ABV: 59.1%

Score: 93 Points

This whiskey won top American Rye Whiskey honors in Whisky Magazine’s 2021 World Whiskies Awards. The nose is very aromatic with baking spices, a hint of dill, honey, vanilla, and hints of dried fruits. The taste has intense baking spices balanced by touches of apples, peaches, and apricots with honey and vanilla in the background. The finish is long with spices that linger nicely. Very nice!
