Tasting Panel
A blend of high and low rye with an exquisite nose of peach and jasmine. The mouthfeel is round, amplified by a spiced apricot nectar, caramel cream, tobacco leaf, and an orange-rind finish. A lean, calcareous dryness is the effect of the limestone in the same pure spring water from Sagamore Farm in western Maryland that fuels champion Thoroughbred horses
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
