Hunting Creek Straight Rye Whiskey is produced by Southern Distilling Company in Statesville, North Carolina. Made from a mashbill of 51% rye, 39% corn and 10% malted barley, it is bottled in bond at 100 proof after aging at least four years. The suggested retail price is $49.95.
This is an incredible whiskey to sip through slowly and let the delightful wave of well-made whiskey wash over you, rather than trying to understand or dissect it.
The midpalate finds impressive balance with buttery toffee and butterscotch notes that silken into a warm finish of lemon peel and Thin Mints cookies. A big step up from Double Rye. In fact, this one can hold its own against a lot of Kentucky ryes on the market right now.
