Taconic Distillery Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey

Savor the bold character of Taconic Distillery Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey, a spirit that balances potency with surprising approachability. Aged for a minimum of six years and bottled at a robust 115 proof, this straight rye whiskey delivers a depth of flavor that earned it a 91.5 rating in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. The mash bill—95% rye and 5% malted barley—creates a complex profile that awakens the senses without overwhelming the palate.
