Traverse City Small Batch & Hand Crafted North Coast Rye 750 ml

Traverse City North Coast Rye is a small-batch, handcrafted rye whiskey from Traverse City Whiskey Co. in Michigan, produced in limited quantities as part of the distillery's broader lineup of Midwestern whiskeys. Rye whiskies from this part of the country tend to lean spicier and more grain-forward than their Kentucky counterparts, and North Coast follows that pattern: black pepper and grain spice up front, with caramel and oak developing underneath from time in charred barrels. Expect a smooth, warming finish. It suits rye drinkers who want a regional Midwest expression outside the usual Kentucky and Pennsylvania names.

How to drink Traverse City North Coast Rye

Build a classic Manhattan or Old Fashioned with it — the grain spice holds up well against vermouth or bitters. Neat also works if you want the pepper and caramel undiluted.
