Straight Rye Whiskey 'Belle of Bedford'

• Single barrel straight rye whiskey distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana; selected, proofed, and bottled by Hughes Bros. Distillers
• Mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley
• Proofed with Allegheny Mountain spring water drawn from the original Hughes family estate in Bedford County, PA
• Minimum 6 years old; Aged in char #4 American oak barrels
• A multi-dimensional nose of maraschino cherry, toasted peanuts, fresh thyme, candied fennel, tapioca, and vanilla underlined with wet clay leads to a punchy palate of crushed red apples, cacao nib, and vanilla wafer. Red Hots linger with feisty tannin on the finish.
• Non-chill filtered; 52% ABV

A perfect dram for fans of bombastic American rye, this 6-year-old expression is also ideal for easy tall drinks—try with ginger ale or cherry soda for a joyous highball.
