All the senses are awoken with this rye whiskey. It’s exceptionally smooth for a high-proof rye! It’s the perfect rye for the whiskey drinker who has always been nervous to try rye. Spicy notes of nutmeg and clove on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAged a minimum of 6 years at 115 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e115.40 Proof (ABV 57.7%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaconic Distillery, established in 2014, is a purveyor of fine craft spirits located in the Hudson Valley of New York. We handcraft our award-winning bourbon and rye whiskies in small batches using the finest ingredients, including grains grown in New York and natural spring water from our farm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by hunting and fishing, Taconic embraces a passion for the outdoors and that passion is imprinted on all our spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our spirits are brilliant for simple sipping. They also make excellent traditional and signature cocktails. We are proud members of the American Distilling Institute, the American Craft Spirits Association and the New York Distillers Guild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTo preserve the complete flavor of our whiskey, we do not chill filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWhiskey is distilled at below 160 proof to retain more of the flavor from the grains it was made from. Those flavors are transferred through the distilling process as fatty molecules (flavor oils). Some distillers will sacrifice a certain amount of flavor for clarity at this point, and chill filter their whiskies to remove some of these fatty molecules. They get a clear whiskey, but remove some of the flavor. Taconic does not chill filter, so sometimes our whiskey may show some “cloudiness”.  This does not mean the whiskey is flawed. On the contrary, it is proof we have imparted as much flavor to the whiskey as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAging occurs in cycles. On hot summer days, the whiskey expands through the char, through the red layer, and into the well-dried but otherwise untreated wood beneath. While in the wood, the whiskey dissolves various delicious compounds. In the cool of the evening, the liquid contracts and brings all of the dissolved wood goodies out with it, where they begin to flavor the body of the whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe char layer reacts with and either traps or softens any bad congeners that remain in the spirit, taming them and rendering them either innocuous or tasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554964534442_70245\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Golden to deep amber\u003cbr\u003eAroma: Clean and crisp with notes of\u003cbr\u003e butterscotch,vanilla, caramel and a\u003cbr\u003e hint of charred oak\u003cbr\u003eTaste: Crisp vanilla with notes of tall summer\u003cbr\u003e grass,caramel, nutmeg, clove, and\u003cbr\u003e back palate sweetness\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Bold, mildly sweet with very warm\u003cbr\u003e spicy notes that linger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSHIPPING \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*SHIPPING NOTICE- If possible, please use a business address for shipping.
