Gold color. Aromas of apple cinnamon oatmeal, black pepper and baking spice, and currant with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a complex, long green apple caramel apple, pralines, fresh baked bread, and nutmeg finish. Complex sipper that is a must have on the back bar for autumn.

Distilled from Rye Mash Whiskey

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.
