Straight Rye Whiskey image
E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey
Straight Rye Whiskey has experienced a strong resurgence in the American whiskey landscape, yet Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was making this style more than 100 years ago. This small batch, Bottled-in-Bond 100 proof straight rye whiskey pays tribute to the former Distillery owner with a unique rye whiskey reminiscent of days long past.

Tasting Notes
Nose: The aroma is characterized by rye spice, dried fruit, and a hint of fresh dill. Some also detect notes of mint and pear.
Palate: The initial taste is dominated by rye spice, but it quickly mellows to reveal flavors of vanilla, pear, nutmeg, and a touch of pine. There's also an oily viscosity that coats the mouth, carrying notes of cinnamon and baking spice.
Finish: The finish is described as pleasingly dry with lingering oak notes.
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye Whiskey was released in September 2015, in response to the growing consumer demand for rye whiskeys. Bottled at 104-proof, this straight rye is non-chill-filtered and carefully selected from barrels in the "center cut" areas (levels 3 to 5) of Wild Turkey's rickhouses.

Part of the  Campari Group family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Lemon, vanilla, and spicy oak with notes of orange peel and ginger.
Palate: Pepper, vanilla and tobacco flavors.
Finish: Pear drops and peppercorn.
