Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey Six Year Old (75cl, 55%)

Pikesville Straight Rye is a six-year-old American rye whiskey, bottled at 110 proof (55%) in a 750ml bottle. The Pikesville name goes back to 1895 and to Maryland's rye whiskey tradition. Today it is made in Kentucky by Heaven Hill Distillery. It is a full-flavoured rye, with classic rye spice layered with sweetness and oak. It can be sipped neat or used in cocktails such as the Manhattan or Old Fashioned. The nose brings honey, clove, cinnamon and toasted oak. Bold rye spice, caramel, vanilla and dark chocolate come through on the palate, and the finish is long and warming, with lingering spice and oak sweetness.
