Distilled, aged and hand-bottled at the Willett distillery, the 4-year-old Straight Rye evokes the classic Maryland rye style. Ageing two rye dominant mash bills in barrels, it’s non-chill filtered and bottled at cask-strength. There’s a surprising amount of depth despite the relative youth, perfumey in an enticing way, with cornbread sweetness and a whisper of wintergreen and mint.
