About this bottle
Pikesville Straight Rye is a Kentucky rye whiskey bottled at 110 proof by Heaven Hill. Once a Maryland-style label, it was revived as a six-year, high-proof straight rye built on a mash of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. The nose leads with dusty cocoa and a thread of oaky smoke; the palate turns dry and spicy, with honeyed rye and clove, before a finish of soft vanilla and baking spice. At 110 proof it carries real weight without drinking hot, which is why it stands up so well in a Manhattan or Sazerac. Pour it neat when you want the rye spice front and center, or build it into a cocktail that needs backbone.
How to drink Pikesville Straight Rye
Build it into a Manhattan or Sazerac where its 110-proof backbone won't get lost, or pour it neat if you want the rye spice unfiltered. A single ice cube tames the heat without erasing the clove and cocoa.
