It’s a rare treat to get the chance to taste a 100% rye whiskey, and rarer still to have it be 10 years old. This 100-proof Canadian whiskey is softer than you’d expect, with initial cherry and vanilla notes turning into toasted rye notes on the palate. This may be our new favorite sipping rye. WhistlePig Farm Distillery, a Vermont-based distillery, has launched WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey, a new 100 proof whiskey made of rye grain.
