Old Scout Port Cask Finish Straight Rye Whiskey

Product Description

Old Scout Port Cask Finish Straight Rye Whiskey: 95% Rye Finished in Tawny Port Casks

Old Scout Port Cask Finish Straight Rye Whiskey begins with Indiana straight rye made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Smooth Ambler finishes the whiskey in Tawny Port casks to bring dark fruit and wine sweetness around the rye’s natural spice.

The producer bottles the expression at 103 proof. Cinnamon, caramel, dried fruit, pepper, and velvety Port influence create a richer style than the standard Old Scout rye while preserving the grain’s assertive structure.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cinnamon, caramel, dark berries, dried fruit, and rye grain. Palate: Peppery rye, Tawny Port sweetness, cherry, plum, caramel, and oak. Finish: Velvety and warming, with fruit, cinnamon, rye spice, and dry wood.
