Detailed Description
The straight rye whiskrey from the Roughstock distillery in Montana deviates from the norm, and is distilled from a mash bill of 100% rye grain, which is very unique as many rye whiskies are often only made with 60β80% rye. It is matured in toasted and heavily charred American white oak barrels which perfectly complements the 100% rye mash bill. This is a spicy and herbal whiskey, only with a slight bit of toffee sweetness β Just like a good rye should be!
Roughstock Montana Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Toffee and spice permeate the nose with coriander, orange peel, and pumpkin spice.
Palate: On the palate there is fresh mint, more toffee, cinnamon, and slight butterscotch.
Finish: The finish is a dazzling array of mint and toffee with a slightly smoky oak underpinning. Broad, long, deep, flavor throughout this whiskey with a strong finish.
Distillery Information
Roughstock Distillery was created by Bryan Schultz in 2008, the first distillery in Montana in over 100 years. One thing history tells us is that a great whiskey starts with two things: amazing grain and pure water. Luckily Roughstock has plenty of both right in Montana, rivaling the best of any place in the world. With beautiful grain grown throughout the state and the pure mountain snowmelt that fills the lakes, streams, rivers, and aquifers, itβs a no-brainer that Montana was meant for making whiskey.
