Old Hillside Straight Rye Single Barrel The Last Ryed 5 year 750 ml

Old Hillside Straight Rye Single Barrel "The Last Ryed" is a five-year single-barrel rye whiskey aged in new American oak and bottled at cask strength rather than cut down to a standard proof. Bottling straight from the barrel without proofing preserves more of the oils and congeners that give a whiskey its full body, which shows here in a deep amber color and a robust, full-bodied character. Expect sweet caramel and toasted oak on the nose, with dried fruit, baking spice, and a peppery rye bite on the palate, finishing long with lingering oak and spice. It's a bottle for rye drinkers who want cask strength intensity in a single-barrel pour.

How to drink Old Hillside The Last Ryed

Add water gradually to bring the cask strength proof down to where the fruit and spice balance out — don't be afraid to open this one up. It's rich enough to anchor a Manhattan for a drinker who wants the rye spice to lead.
