Corbin Cash 1917 Merced Rye Review
This well-tamed cask-strength release from Atwater, Calif. is a farm-to-bottle release produced from Corbin Cash's 100 percent estate-grown rye. Spending about half a decade in barrel before being bottled without filtration, this rye showcases intense notes of cherry, apricot, toasted oak, and cigar boxes. While a bit expensive considering its age, this rye is a clear demonstration of a whiskey made with high-quality ingredients, care, and attention.
