Nelson Brothers Rye Whiskey (46.3%)

Nelson Brothers Rye is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey, blended and bottled in Tennessee at 92.5 proof. It pays tribute to the rye whiskeys the Nelson family distilled before Prohibition. The aim is to bring out the bold, botanical and spicy character of the rye grain, with an undercurrent of sweet caramel and toasted wood. The nose is fresh mint, black pepper, vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is spice-forward, with black liquorice, cinnamon and peppery rye softened by caramel, spiced apple and dark chocolate. The finish is medium to long and warming, with mint, sweet oak and gentle baking spice.
