Old Potrero 6 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey

Old Potrero 6 Year Old Straight Rye is an artisanal American craft whiskey distilled by Hotaling & Co. in San Francisco, California. Revered as a pioneer of the modern American craft whiskey movement, it is produced using a mashbill of 100% malted rye that is distilled in traditional small copper pot stills. Matured for a minimum of 6 years in extra-fine grain American white oak barrels that have been toasted and lightly charred, this whiskey delivers a robust, historic profile brimming with deep baking spices, rich fruit compote, nutty grains, and warm toasted oak.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with smoked pork ribs, peppery beef brisket, rich charcuterie boards featuring cured salumi and aged sharp white cheddar, dark chocolate truffles, and warm pecan pie.

Tasting Notes : Deep rich copper with warm amber hues, presenting a full, viscous body with a silky and coating mouthfeel.

Nose : Bold malted grain, toasted rye bread, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, candied orange peel, and warm vanilla oak.

Palate : Rich and full-bodied with notes of dark caramel, honeyed malt, stewed stone fruits, clove, cracked black pepper, and toasted almond balanced by dry, seasoned wood tannins.

Finish : Long, warming, and spicy with lingering notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate, toasted rye bread, and subtle leather.

Serve : Serve neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or rocks glass, over a large ice sphere, or as the robust foundation in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Sazerac.
