Luca Mariano Old Americana Rye is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey produced in partnership with Wilderness Trail Distillery. It is aged in American white oak and bottled at 83 proof.
The taste starts off light and sweet at first with touches of dried flowers and honey, followed by a burst of baking spices that lasts into the finish along with dark chocolate and hints of tree fruits.
After sweet bourbons like Luca Mariano Single Barrel Bourbon from Luca Mariano, this rye was a good beginning to their rye portfolio. It is not a complex and luscious rye whiskey but it has an interesting and appealing character. The palate is still too sweet for rye and it carries the bourbon character but it also has supporting spicy notes.
