The Macklowe Silver Edition is a Kentucky straight rye whiskey made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It ages for over four years in ISC Cooper Select Char 4 new American oak barrels, then finishes for 4–6 months in Macklowe American single malt casks. This limited release of 2,544 bottles comes from a small batch of 10 casks and is bottled at 46% ABV in 700 ml format, priced at $98.
The taste has a nice balance of sweetness and spices with ginger, peppercorns, a hint of close, figs, honey, and vanilla. The finish is long with lingering spices and a hint of dried fruits.
