Pinhook ‘Rye Munny’ Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Review
Distilled at Kentucky's Castle & Key, this rye is a shining argument in favor of the fact that young American whiskeys can deliver enjoyable, thought-provoking drinking experiences. Aged for just two years, this rye's mash bill contains 60 percent rye and equal parts corn and malted barley. Notes of banana bread and corn on the nose mix with a malty sweetness that juxtaposes the rye's herbaceous notes. This rye is the perfect swap for bourbon in your next Old Fashioned.
