Jaywalk Heirloom Rye Whiskey

Age: 7-year old cask strength Mash Bill: 75% Horton Rye, 13% New York Corn, 12% Malted Barley Tasting Notes: The concentration of sugars results in a unique and delicious range of aromas and flavors that belie the assumption that rye whiskey is spicy. Prepare for tropical, herbal, and succulent sugar characteristics, but remember, each barrel carries its own personality!
