Taconic Distillery Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey

Even as young rye, there is a unique smoothness and sweetness to this 115 proof spirit. A touch of our limestone-rich, artisanal water imparts an extra sweet and buttery layer. Even at 115 proof, there's a velvety foundation of nutmeg and clove that help to support a bold but smooth finish. Rye lovers will appreciate the warm, spicy notes that contrast well with the mild, sweet notes on the back palate. Cask Strength is perfectly nice and neat or as a cocktail base.

Aged a minimum of two years in New oak, char 3, Coope Select, 53-gallon Independent Stave Company barrels.

Taconic water is brought to the surface through a rich deposit of Dolostone. Similar to limestone, Dolostone is rich in calcium carbonate and magnesium. These minerals help to impart another layer of rich butteriness found in Taconic Distillery spirits
