Old Louisville Whiskey 8 Year Toasted Straight Rye Whiskey

Old Louisville’s 8 Year Toasted Oak Rye is a cask-strength, bold expression of rye spice, framed by warm oak influence. Aged eight years and bottled uncut, this whiskey delivers power and nuance. On the nose, bright rye spice leaps forward alongside toasted oak, cinnamon rolls, vanilla bean, hazelnut, and citrus peel. The palate offers clove, black pepper, and gingerbread, moving through notes of brown sugar, honeycomb, and gentle smoke from the oak toast. The finish lingers warmly with spiced caramel, toasted coconut, and sweet charred oak—rye presence held firm, oak sweetness in harmony.

Nose: Bright rye spice, toasted oak, cinnamon rolls, vanilla, roasted hazelnut, citrus peel.

Palate: Clove, black pepper, gingerbread; mid-palate: brown sugar, honeycomb, subtle smoky oak.

Finish: Long and warm—spiced caramel, toasted coconut, charred oak, lingering rye spice.

Pair with pecan praline or cinnamon-sugar donuts to echo nut and spice. Dark chocolate (≥70 %) contrasts the heat and oak. Try smoked pork belly or charred brisket—the oaked edges and savory smoke heighten complexity.
