Crew Member JB's Pick of the Week
McKenzie Rye
JB sez:
If you are a Canadian whiskey fan, current international events may alter your sipping habits in the near future. Many Canadian whiskeys are mostly rye based unlike many US whiskeys which are corn based with a second grain of rye or wheat, both grains readily available in the USA.
Finger Lakes Distilling on Seneca Lake is a leader in producing a world class rye named for the distillery founder, Brian McKenzie.
McKenzie Rye has been a favorite of mine since it was introduced. Finishing in Sherry casks gives it just enough sweetness.
It makes a great Old Fashioned!
Remember: Drink Local! Buy Local! This has a new, larger meaning to some of us.
