Traverse City Whiskey Co. Barrel Proof Rye Review
A touch shy of 120 proof, Traverse City Whiskey Co.'s Barrel Proof Rye is a surprisingly easygoing cask strength release. With notes of fresh, slightly peppery grains, mature oak, and green earthiness, this expression serves as the dictionary definition of classic rye. While we would never say no to a Manhattan made with this bottling, it is perhaps best enjoyed poured over a large cube of ice to allow for the spirit's profile to evolve as melted water marries with the whiskey.
