Kentucky Owl Wiseman Straight Rye Whiskey

Product Description

Kentucky Owl Wiseman Straight Rye Whiskey: 95% Rye at 100.8 Proof

Kentucky Owl Wiseman Straight Rye Whiskey is the core rye expression developed under master blender John Rhea. The producer identifies a traditional mash bill containing 95% rye.

The release is bottled at 100.8 proof and delivers rye bread, pepper, cinnamon, caramel, herbs, and oak. Its high-rye recipe makes it suitable for both neat tasting and classic rye cocktails.

This bottle is different from Kentucky Owl’s older age-stated batch ryes. Do not apply the 10- or 11-year specifications of those limited releases to The Wiseman Rye.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh rye bread, caramel, cinnamon, pepper, and herbs.

Palate: Rich rye grain, black pepper, honey, spice, and oak.

Finish: Long and warming, moving from rye bread toward buttered cinnamon toast and walnut.

Food Pairings

Pair with pastrami, smoked meat, aged cheddar, rye bread, roasted nuts, or dark chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat, with a few drops of water, or in a Manhattan, Sazerac, or rye Old Fashioned.
