Cody Road Rye Whiskey
Rye
Cody Road // Iowa, USA
Two brothers Ryan and Garrett Burchett run the Mississippi River Distilling Co. Their whiskey is named after the famed Buffalo Bill Cody who was a fan of the ever-so- popular-for-the-times rye and as such, the brothers decided to age a 100% rye whiskey.
With grain purchased solely from Dave and Jim Wherry in Fulton, IL Cody Road Rye takes a remarked leap in the opposite direction to most rye lovers, being a touch fruitier and floral than most of its competitors including Templeton. .

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"This is definitely a unique rye. Had I been in a blind tasting I probably would have called it a medium high-rye bourbon because the fruitiness in the mid-palate reminds me of the first bite into a fresh wild plum berry. Dryness in the back of the palate was reminiscent of persimmon peels. If you like a Makers Old Fashioned on the Rocks this is definitely a solid break from your Happy Hour norm’. "
