Leiper's Fork Straight Rye Whiskey
95 proof 3 years, 10 months Rye Leiper's Fork Distillery Franklin, TN 55% rye, 30% corn, 15% malted barley
Nose

Cinnamon, tobacco, dried red berries (strawberries), malted character, lavender and herbal notes from the toasted malt

Palate

Sweet and peppery with dried red fruit flavors, full-bodied, cinnamon toothpick character, not overbearing on either side, does not punch you in the face

Finish

Kentucky hug with lingering sweetness and spice

Noteworthy
A southern-style rye that defies typical rye expectations with creamy sweetness from corn and malt, avoiding the harsh nose that often characterizes the category.
