16 Feb Rye Cocktails
Sips of the Week
Mixologists Brendan Dorr and Eric Fooy of the B&O Brasserie joined Laurie to talk Rye Whiskey and give away some tickets to their fundraiser Rye’s Up on February 23rd. Brendan mixed up a new cocktail called X that you can try along with 15 others at the event.
George Dickel Rye Whiskey, Tennessee
Distillery Notes: George Dickel Rye Whisky is the only rye finished in the style that made George famous. We start with the finest rye whisky available, made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Then we finish it the Dickel way – chilled, then charcoal mellowed. Spicy and smoky with an exceptionally smooth finish
Bulleit Rye Whiskey, Kentucky
Distillery Notes: High rye content has always been the signature of Tom Bulleit’s distinctive bourbon. It was only a matter of time before he created a rye whiskey. Bulleit Rye is an award-winning, small batch, straight rye whiskey with a character of unparalleled spice and complexity. Released in 2011, it continues to enjoy recognition as one of the highest quality ryes available. Russet in color, with rich oaky aromas. The flavor is notably smooth, with hints of vanilla, honey, and spice. Finishes crisp and clean, with long, lingering flavors.
Ryes featured can be found in Maryland at Highland Wine & Spirits in Howard County or Wine World in Harford County or anywhere else by searching WineSearcher.com
