Ri1 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

This is a pretty nice tasting rye. Taste seems subtle, but well put together. We could see this being better for sipping than mixing because of the subtleness, but (ri)1 certainly wouldn’t make an offensive cocktail. Like most lower percentage straight ryes, this shares some Bourbon character along with a good rye presence.
