I really appreciate how the style of this rye differs from the norm. It’s also quite extraordinary that they hand malt and age with apple wood. I’m a big fan of pot-stilled whiskeys, too. And if all that isn’t enough, the same farmer grows all their grain in Virginia.rnrnI would say this rye is more for the Scotch drinker than the bourbon drinker, but it crosses boundaries. I’m curious to try some of their other expressions.
