I am a big fan of rye whiskeys. This guy is good on a large rock or neat. Smooth and flavorful. If you fancy the brown stuff now and then Willett is worth a shot.

Forgive the whiskey entry but I'm often asked about Bourbon for wine drinkers. The ABV may be a bit stiff for some and need a little Voss, but neat the nose is ridiculous...tobacco, orange peel, sassafras. Sipping...cinnamon bark, tree nuts, sweet cream.
