Highest Rye is crafted to pay tribute to rye's popularity heading into Prohibition, with a mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye and 10% malted rye, bridging bourbon's sweetness and structure with the bold, peppery complexity of rye. It is proof that what might have been, can still be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aroma brings rich fruit syrup, slight maple, caramel, vanilla, barrel char, mint, cinnamon, fig and saddle leather. The taste delivers robust candied fruit, caramel and vanilla, finishing long with spicy cinnamon and saddle leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a fine gift for whiskey lovers who enjoy a bit of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be at least 51% corn, so a 49% rye and malted rye share is as far as the recipe can go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalted rye adds a softer, bready sweetness alongside the spice of raw rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 109 proof, a few drops of water open up the fig and maple notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit syrup, maple, caramel, fig, leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candied fruit, caramel, vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy cinnamon and saddle leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e George Remus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight bourbon, highest rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% corn, 39% rye, 10% malted rye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 109 proof (54.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a splash of water, or stir a Manhattan or Boulevardier.
