High N Wicked Kentucky Straight Rye Cask Strength Mash Bill 750 ml

High n' Wicked's Kentucky Straight Rye at cask strength goes into the bottle with no water added, which means the rye spine arrives at full width instead of being softened toward a standard proof. Kentucky rye tends to run richer than the pepper-forward northern styles, and that shows here: black pepper, mint and dark honey on the nose, a palate of rye bread, clove, brown sugar and orange oil with an oily texture, and a long finish of drying oak and cracked spice. Add a few drops of water and it unfolds rather than thins. Neat is the honest read; a cask-strength Sazerac is the reward.
