Peerless Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

This is already a delicious craft rye whiskey even before you factor in that it is only three years old. It’s bold, spicy, sophisticated, and packed with so many delicious rye-forward flavors that it doesn’t taste like a typical young craft rye whiskey. Instead, whereas many other young craft ryes tend to be boldly flavored with no end of herbaceous rye and young oak notes, this rye is already at a stage of maturity where it’s starting to trade some of its young grain and new oak notes for deep caramel, warm baking spices, and a hint of toasted oak.

dd a great balance between the dominant flavors and its deep complexity of characters to the mix, and you could have easily fooled me by claiming this as a four or 5-year-old craft rye.
