Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is part of the whiskey range created by NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw with Silver Screen Bottling Company. It is distilled at Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky, a site that received the state's tenth distillery licence in 1885 (DSP-KY-10), under third-generation master distiller Jacob Call. As a straight rye it is aged at least two years in new charred oak. It is bottled at 103.8 proof (51.9% ABV), a nod to Bradshaw's career pass-completion percentage, in a 750ml bottle. For a young rye it shows plenty of complexity, with earthy, mineral, fruity and spicy notes.

Nose: Mineral and earthy notes, fresh-cut grass, dark fruit, pepper and a floral undertone.

Palate: Fruity and spicy, with white pepper, orchard fruit, vanilla and rye bread.

Finish: Long, with light rye spice and sweet oak.

Serve: Neat, with a splash of water, or in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
