This is listed as a "whiskey specialty" so not a true rye whiskey as such. It is bottled at 40% ABV and available nationwide.

Tasting Notes
"Winey notes lead on the nose with a range of red fruits from juicy plums to sour cherries, along with vanilla, and just a touch of rye spice. A creamy-vanilla palate is dominated by wine-soaked fruits — think the morsels you'd pluck from a downed glass of sangria. A short finish offers more of the same, plus cocoa powder, oak, spice, and pepper. Though a bit one dimensional, it's easy drinking and plays well on the rocks or in cocktails. "
