365 | Spirits | Rye, Kentucky, $20 to $50

"Deep amber copper color. Candied peanuts, cinnamon taffy, and honeyed golden raisin toast aromas follow through on a supple, round entry to a spicy, dry-yet-fruity full body with toasty fruit cake crust, cocoa, roasted caramelized nuts, and delicate anise. Finishes with a long, voluptuous sweet praline, wet stone and peppery spice fade. A smooth, delicious and sexy rye for sipping or mixing elegant cocktails." Gold Medal.

"100 Proof - Not Chill-Filtered - Over 90% Rye in the Mash Bill. Vibrant & Full Bodied; notes of spice, chocolate, cloves & honey. A great sipper neat or on the rocks, and also makes a mean Manhattan."

" Clear. Aromas and flavors of creamy pistachio nougat, raisin scone, and grain husk with a round, penetrating dryish medium-to-full body a warming, white pepper, fig rye toast, chalk dust, and pear eau-de-vie-like finish. Interesting flavor and dimension; opens nicely with water, and a creative cocktail choice."
