Pikesville Straight Rye Review

This one-time Maryland rye is now produced by Heaven Hill. A 110 proof, six-year-old offering, the alcohol and age combine to provide complex, layered aromas and intensely flavored sips. The mash bill adds further character, with notes of dill, spice, rich banana, and stone fruit, while charred oak serves a crack of black pepper. This is a nuanced but powerful rye whiskey.
