This toasted oak, barrel-aged rye whiskey from John Drew is positively smooth and mellow. It is distilled in Alberta, Canada and then aged for 4 years. The taste is spicy with balanced flavors of caramel, oak, vanilla, and black pepper. It’s an excellent whiskey so we’re making a Manhattan (arguably one of the easiest cocktails to make) and pairing it with an Undercrown Shade.
