Time to continue my exploration of Rye Whiskey. After two entry-level bottles like the Emerald Giant and Sagamore Spirit Rye, today I am going to review an unusual Rye, the New Riff 100% Malted Rye. Malted Rye is a rather rare style, which, according to some, is a great gateway…

For the second instalment of this series on Rye Whiskey, I am looking at another entry-level Rye made in the USA. Following my review of the Redwood Empire Emerald Giant, today, I am going to review the Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey. Before I jump into the review, it is worth…

After a small breaking news interruption to review the new Glen Scotia 12, it is time to get back to my usual schedule and look at another whisky category for the next few weeks. It is time to look at Rye Whisky. I must admit that between Rye and Bourbon….
