TASTING NOTES
An absolute must try, this bold rye offers deliciously blended flavors of smooth butterscotch, vanilla, and an array of spices that promises to leave you intrigued and in awe. Dry on the palate and smooth on the finish, this big rye is true craftsmanship at its finest. We love this rye on the rocks or with a twist. To best accompany the sophisticated flavors this rye has to offer, we recommend pairing it with a squeeze of orange or garnished with sweet cherries. Dried fruits of your choice and the fragrant herb of thyme also make for mouthwatering additions to the Sonoma Brothers Straight Rye Whiskey.
