This pre-Prohibition style of Pennsylvania rye whiskey was made with 80% rye and 20% malted barley in the mashbill, and the nose has classic rye spices with a hint of dill, brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla. The taste has clove, cinnamon, and allspice notes complemented by molasses, pipe tobacco, and honey. The finish is long and spicy. Very nice! (December, 2024)
