The mash bill is a classic Kentucky-style rye of about 51% rye with corn and malted barley, which keeps the spice lively but rounds it out with some sweetness. The brand began in Pennsylvania before production moved to Kentucky in the 1990s.
Bartenders reach for it in a Manhattan, Sazerac or rye Old Fashioned, where the extra strength holds its own against vermouth and bitters. It is also good neat with a few drops of water, alongside smoked meats or a cheeseboard.

Expect black pepper, clove and toasted oak on the nose with a little honey. The palate brings cinnamon spice, vanilla and cherry over a firm rye bite, finishing warm and spicy.
A smart choice for anyone who mixes whiskey cocktails at home or enjoys a bold, spicy rye.
