Luca Mariano Gianna Loren Single Barrel Rye (97 Proof, 6 Year)
97 proof 6 years Rye Luca Mariano Lexington, KY 56% rye, 33% corn, 11% malted barley
Nose

Sweet caramel with candy notes and a pleasant caramel-drizzled character.

Palate

Balanced rye muffin flavors without overpowering spice, drizzled with caramel and nutty elements from malted barley, with pleasant corn sweetness shining through. Creates a pleasant dance on the tip of the tongue that wraps around the sides without drying the mouth.

Finish

Pleasant and drinkable without palate fatigue, complex enough to sustain interest through multiple pours.

Very good
An impressively balanced Kentucky rye that delivers bourbon-like approachability with genuine rye character, making it an excellent gateway rye for bourbon-preferring drinkers.
