Country: USA

Region:

Type: Rye Whiskey

Bottler: Uncle Nearest Distillery

ABV: 60.5%

Score: 92 Points

This whiskey is only available at the Uncle Nearest Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, and comes from whiskey originally distilled in British Columbia and matured for four years in New York and Tennessee. The nose has a soft oakiness with touches of vanilla, baking spices, brown sugar, and honey. The taste has notes of cherries and a burst of clove and cinnamon spices that fades slowly to reveal soft oak, vanilla, and a hint of molasses. The finish is long and subtle with lingering spices, molasses, and vanilla.
