Stray Rye Whiskey

Description

Whiskey: Stray Rye

This 95% rye recipe is a rare find for the discerning whiskey drinker. Every single bottle is poured from a single barrel, so there will be distinct flavor differences created.

Size: 750ML

Proof: 80 (40% ABV)

The first few barrels bottled, were 30 gallon Barrel Mill #3 char barrels. Since these are still a little young, with the youngest just over 3 years, they start with a slight herbal note on the nose blended with leather and butterscotch. The mouthfeel is buttery, and coats – starting off spicy with a minty burn, then transfers to a cherry and dark brown sugar as it runs off the tongue. You will notice this rye activates your salivary glands more than most due to the 95% rye, making it a great whiskey to pair with all sorts of food.
