Southern Star Bottled In Bond Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Southern Star Bottled in Bond Straight Rye comes from Southern Distilling Company in Statesville, North Carolina, and it plays by the strictest rules American whiskey has. Bottled in bond means one distillery, one distilling season, at least four years in a federally supervised warehouse, and exactly 100 proof in the bottle: no blending across years, no proofing down to hit a price. That extra strength suits rye. Spice and mint over toasted oak on the nose, then black pepper, caramel and dark rye bread on a firm palate, finishing long, dry and peppery. Drink it neat, or let it carry a Sazerac without disappearing under the absinthe.
