Ragtime Rye Whiskey (70cl) NV

A rich and characterful American rye whiskey that will delight cocktail enthusiasts and neat whiskey drinkers alike. Its name harks back to the era of Prohibition, the 1920s, and the music you’d be tapping your toes to in ‘speakeasies’. And the flavours too are a modern take on what would have been served back then. Ragtime Rye is from the New York Distilling Company, using 72% rye, all grown in New York State. Added to that is a little corn and malted barley, but spicy rye is the main thrust. Up to three years’ maturation in large American oak barrels lends a luscious layer of vanilla spice complexity to the caramel, citrus, berry notes and juicy clementine. Savour neat, possibly with some ice, or use as the base of your latest cocktail.
