Tamworth Distilling Chocorua Straight Rye Whiskey Review
From New Hampshire’s Tamworth Distilling, Chocorua is a 100-percent rye made from a single crop of organic Maine-grown rye. On its nose and palate, bright, tart cherry notes are offset by fiery black pepper, with hints of caramel lurking below that provide some welcome sweetness.
