Expect rye spice, caramel, honey and toasted oak, concentrated at 110 proof.
Its maroon label with the diamond crest makes this ReserveBar pick a collectible bottle. We also carry Sagamore Barrel Select Creators Cask Barrel 158.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
