No.4 Rye WhiskyNo.4 Rye Whisky is made from New York State rye, specially grown for them. They use 100% rye so the spirit is a little bolder and spicier than most rye whiskies, but their innovative fermentation and distillation style makes it very smooth and approachable. The smell is lightly floral with some spice. The taste starts with sweet vanilla and caramel notes, transitions to cinnamon and floral rye flavours and gives a long spicy, but not overwhelming, rye finish. |
