Description
Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey is a multi-award-winning American rye whiskey with a long history dating back to 1895. Originally produced in Maryland, the brand is now part of the renowned Heaven Hill Distillery, which is known for its outstanding whiskeys. With a high proportion of rye in the mash bill and a strong alcohol content of 55% vol., this whiskey offers an intense, spicy flavour that is typical of classic rye.
After maturing for at least six years in new, burnt oak barrels, Pikesville Rye develops an exceptional depth with spicy, sweet and slightly nutty notes. Despite its high cask strength, it displays a remarkable softness and balance. This combination of power and elegance makes it one of the best rye whiskies on the market and a favourite choice for Purists and discerning connoisseurs.
