About this bottle
A rye whiskey from United States from Wilderness Trail, Wilderness Trail Small Batch Rye is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 50% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Lemon peels, zesty satsuma, and crisp apple bring fruity balance to woody rye spice. Soft notes of vanilla caramel and floral honey drift in the distance; on the palate: More citrus zest keeps things zingy with toasted rye bread and spiced butter in tow. Charred oak and butterscotch are followed by hints of liquorice and pepper; finish: That peppery heat takes hold on the finish, green peppers, and crushed peppercorns tangle with sweet toffee and orchard fruits.

Serving & pairing
Rye’s peppery spice is the classic base for a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned. Pairs well with charcuterie and dark chocolate.
Rye versus bourbon — what is the difference?
Both are American whiskeys aged in new charred oak. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which gives sweetness; rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives pepper, spice and a drier finish. Canadian whisky is often called “rye” by tradition even when the mash bill contains little rye.
