J.W Kelly and Co Melrose Rye Whiskey 750ml

J.W. Kelly & Co. Melrose Rye Whiskey is a rye whiskey from J.W. Kelly & Co., a smaller, lesser-known producer. Specific mash bill, aging, and distillery sourcing details for this bottling aren't confirmed here. Rye whiskey generally leans spicier and drier than bourbon thanks to its rye-forward mash bill. Expect baking spice and dark fruit on the nose, a bold, peppery palate, and a long, spicy finish typical of the category. Good for whiskey drinkers curious about smaller, independent rye labels rather than a familiar big-name brand.
