Cody Road Straight Rye is produced by Mississippi River Distilling Company in LeClaire, Iowa, founded by brothers Ryan and Garrett Burchett. It is made from a 100% rye mash bill sourced entirely from Dave and Jim Wherry in Fulton, Illinois, and aged in American oak casks. It is bottled at 40% ABV and retails for around $33.
Bright notes of vanilla and fresh-cut pear run throughout this light, approachable rye, with a brisk menthol note on the midpalate and a zingy finish laced with ginger, lemon cream and cinnamon.
