Old Louisville Straight Rye Whiskey Uncut Batch #Kitsap 8 year 750 ML

Old Louisville Straight Rye Whiskey Batch #Kitsap is an 8-year-old rye bottled uncut, meaning it goes into the bottle at the same proof it came out of the barrel rather than being diluted with water first. That barrel-proof approach keeps every bit of the rye's natural spice and heat intact, generally landing well above the standard 40-50% ABV range of a diluted release. Expect black pepper and cinnamon up front, with dried fruit and oak built up from eight years in the barrel, and a hot, long finish. This is a whiskey for people who want rye at full, unedited strength.

How to drink Old Louisville Rye Batch #Kitsap

Add a few drops of water before your first sip — barrel-proof whiskey almost always opens up rather than dilutes with a little cutting. Save it for a Sazerac if you want the spice to carry a cocktail instead.
