Why we chose it

“At 55% it lets you know it is there, which is rather the point. A splash of water opens up the cinnamon and dark cocoa — if you drink rye, this is your bottle.”

About this wine

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey delivers intense flavour and warming depth in the classic Maryland style. Aromas of toasted rye bread, cinnamon and dark cocoa lead into a rich palate of honeyed oak, clove, and dried fruit. Bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof), it's robust yet balanced, ideal for sipping neat or with a splash of water.

Originally from Maryland and now crafted in Kentucky by Heaven Hill, Pikesville has earned acclaim for its complexity, length and spicy charm. A must-have for rye lovers seeking structure and sophistication.
