Pikesville Straight Rye

Creamy with a bite in the back of the throat Unfolds on your palette like a blossoming Peacock Makes an exceptional Manhattan with black walnut bitter and excellent vermouth

This definitely highlights the rye over sweetness factor. For a rye, it’s rare for me to get one where the flavors even out in smokiness and sweetness, though. This is a rye I like to use to make for a little twist on an old fashion. And I just keep coming back to it.

Recommended based on a great price. Very good, strong rye, but still not my favorite. Worth a buy if you're a rye fan.

Spicy rye, eucalyptus, sweet sasperella. I've moved away from bourbon and rye drinking (or at least enjoyment of a lot of the entry to mid range stuff) in the last year or so but now and then you get flashes of perhaps not brilliance but a good combination of flavours, balance and quality at a decent price. This is one of those drams for me that still keeps me dipping my toes and taste buds into the bourbon and rye whiskey world despite me falling out of love with the general flavour profile.
