Bender’s Small Batch Rye Whiskey 750 ML

Batch 5 is blend of five year rye and eight to nine year corn whiskey, a portion of which was finished in Hoffmeister char 1 barrels. For this batch we also lowered the proof to 90 which keeps the alcohol from overwhelming while bringing the flavor forward when drinking neat or in a cocktail.

Tasting Notes:

The rye gives the whiskey a sweet and spicy character with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses. The corn rounds out the pallet with sweet overtones, extending the finish at the back of the palate.
