This is the 4th 13th colony product I have reviewed and it is my favorite of the bunch. 13th Colony Southern Rye Whiskey is in-your-face bold rye that is great to drink neat and makes an amazing Old Fashioned and Manhattan. In the glass, it has a medium amber hue to it and it coats the sides of the glass nicely. On the nose, I get baking spices like nutmeg and clove and no ethanol. The body is wonderful and long with the spice lingering on my tongue with a little burn to let you know you are drinking something for grown-ups. The finish is long with some woody notes showing up and a long finish. As far as mixed drinks I stated earlier that this makes an amazing Old Fashioned and it does. The Manhattan is where this shines with cheap vermouth it is great and with Cocchi Vermouth di Torino it is a thing of beauty. The full flavor of the rye goes very well with the vermouth. I really like this rye. I picked it up for around $33 but I have seen it for as much as $42. If you are a fan of rye whiskey and like bold flavors, this is an easy yes. Enjoy.
