  • Though calling Never Say Die Rye a Kentucky & English rye is fun to do, the easy-going sip backs up its story with a compelling flavor profile.

  • Never Say Die Kentucky Straight Rye is a quality rye worth your attention. Danville, KY has a positive history with rye whiskey, and this is a unique derivative with unique aging conditions as compared to many other ryes on the market.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet butterscotch meets clove, cinnamon, anise and red grape

  • Taste:

    Moderate viscosity. Quite a pleasant palate that leans on dark spice. Cinnamon, pine, clove, black pepper and tobacco meet brown sugar and a bit of oak.

  • Finish:

    The finish is satisfying and spice-forward, opening with frosted gingerbread, then transitions to tannin and cinnamon.

  • Overall:

    A nice rye! Good flavor from tip to tail. It's not the most ground-breaking expression, but it's rock solid rye whiskey.

  • Score:
