Middle West Spirits Straight Rye Dark Pumpernickel Small Batch Craft 750ml

Middle West Spirits is a craft distillery in Columbus, Ohio, known for grain-to-glass rye whiskey, and this Straight Rye release uses a mash bill built around dark pumpernickel rye grain for a denser, more bread-like character than a standard rye mash. It's produced in small batches from grain to bottle at the distillery. Expect dark rye bread, molasses, and baking spice on the nose, a dense, grainy palate with cocoa notes, and a warm, peppery finish. An interesting pick for rye drinkers who want to taste how grain selection changes the whiskey.

How to drink Dark Pumpernickel Straight Rye

Sip it neat to catch the dark-bread character, or use it in a Manhattan where its density stands up well to sweet vermouth.
