Tasting Notes
Pikesville 6 Year Old 110 Proof Straight Rye is a truly exceptional whiskey that showcases the best of Kentucky's rye whiskey tradition. On the nose, it tantalizes the senses with a blend of dusty spice, a hint of creamy hand lotion, and rich cocoa notes, complemented by sweet licorice, citrusy Curaçao, vanilla custard, and crème caramel aromas. The palate is an explosion of fruity flavors intertwined with the iconic spiciness of rye, reminiscent of the classic pink licorice allsorts candies, with a distinct coconutty and nougat-like character. The oak influence adds depth and complexity, while clove drops linger on the finish. The finale is a delightful harmony of vanilla, cinnamon, and apricot Danish flavors, leaving a lasting impression of indulgence. This award-winning rye whiskey, rooted in Maryland's heritage since 1895, is a true gem that whiskey enthusiasts must experience.
