Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of dried mango, chestnut, pineapple blossom, and sweet grass with a silky, soft, dry medium body and a tingling, elegant, medium-to-long finish evoking touches of passionfruit, pickled ginger, and papaya. A light and flavorful Whiskey that will make for a pleasant summertime sipper; more lithe and nimble than expected for a Whiskey made from Rye.

Distilled from Rye Mash Whiskey is a relatively arcane category, taking into effect only a few American whiskies with a bourbon mash bill but aged in barrels that are not new white American oak; these may have other non traditional aging or processing. Examples tend to be less complex than true bourbons, but these products can be crowd pleasers.
