Taconic Distillery Straight Rye Barrel Strength 750 ml

Taconic Distillery Straight Rye Barrel Strength is a limited-edition rye whiskey from the Stanfordville, New York distillery, made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged a minimum of two years in new, charred American oak before bottling undiluted at cask strength. Taconic distills on-site in the Hudson Valley rather than sourcing whiskey, and the barrel-strength bottling skips the usual proofing-down step to preserve more of the rye's natural intensity. Expect a bold, spicy whiskey with sweet caramel and baking spice on the nose, and toasted oak, baking spice, and dark fruit on a full-bodied palate. It's a bottle for rye drinkers who want the spirit at its most concentrated.

How to drink Taconic Barrel Strength Rye

Add water gradually to find your preferred strength — this rye has plenty of room to open up from cask proof. Once cut to taste, it's built for neat sipping rather than a cocktail.
