Green River Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Green River Distilling Company recently expanded their offering by releasing their first ever Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey . This 95 proof bottle joins their previously-released and very successful bourbons. This whiskey is a blend from four to six year barrels and has a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. In the bottle is a bright mahogany colored whiskey with a nose that includes red fruit, mint and baked biscuits. This is a very easy sipper and will appeal to devoted rye whiskey enthusiasts as they taste black tea, hints of spice, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and maple candy. After a few days opened, we kept going back to this bottle and we're picking up more citrus on the nose and fruit on the palate. This might be one of the best rye whiskeys we have tasted in months! This bottle is another fine example that whiskey doesn't have to be expensive to be good and that it doesn't have to age for 10+ years to have mass appeal. ...
