STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY

This aged rye is uniquely balanced with aromas of caramel, complex spice, some hints of vanilla and a light smoky body. The peppery bite provides  a spicy splash of flavor that washes over the palate with every sip.  Finally, finishing long and dry with a balance of sweet and spice.
