River Basin Rye is a spicy and assertive straight rye whiskey crafted in the heart of rye country - Pennsylvania.

Bottled at a higher proof (often 92 proof or higher), it delivers a bold and satisfying rye whiskey experience.

Description

River Basin Rye focuses on showcasing the classic rye whiskey character. The Pennsylvania rye grain and undisclosed aging contribute to a bold and spicy profile.

Nose

The aroma is rye-forward, offering a peppery tingle with hints of mint, dill, and herbal earthiness. Depending on the bottling, some sweetness like caramel or vanilla might peek through, balanced by oaky notes of toast and spice.

Palate

The taste is full-bodied and assertive, dominated by rye spice with hints of peppery heat and herbal notes. Hints of caramel, brown sugar, or baking spices might emerge for a touch of sweetness. The oak influence adds structure with notes of vanilla and toast. The higher proof can contribute to a warming sensation on the palate.

Finish

The finish is long and lingering, with a strong peppery rye spice that gradually fades to reveal oaky tannins and a hint of sweetness.
