Rye
Boondocks
Bardstown, KY
95.5% rye
Nose
Light and faint with peppery nutmeg, baking spice, a hint of mint, and subtle fruit-forward notes.
Palate
Fruit-forward with stone fruit and melon notes. Nice level distribution across the palate without sizzle concentrated only on the front or settling solely on the back. Bites with characteristic rye spice.
Finish
Clean and well-integrated with the nose and palate.
Noteworthy
An impressive Green River–sourced rye that belies its 120.5 proof with a refined, fruit-forward profile and peppery spice balance.
