Minden Mill Nevada Straight Rye Whiskey Review
Made from 100 percent grains grown on Minden Mill’s Nevada estate, this is a rye in its purest form. At 4 years and 94 proof, the nose and palate mostly serve a tongue-tickling spiciness, with just a hint of fruit to balance things a bit. Hardly complex, but totally delicious for rye fans.
