A fantastic rye whiskey produced in Kentucky, the Pikesville brand dates back to 1895 in Maryland. This 6 year old 110 proof was released in 2015, receiving a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, an "Extraordinary, Ultimate Recommendation" from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and was named the World's Best Rye Whisky at the World Whiskies Awards 2016 - Heaven Hill also won Distiller of the Year at the Icons of Whisky 2016!
Some dusty spice, a touch of Norwegian hand cream and cocoa at first with sweet liquorice, Curaçao, vanilla custard and crème caramel developing.
Fruity, then wonderfully spicy rye. Sweet liquorice again (specifically the coconutty/nougat-y pink Liquorice Allsorts that have a black bit in the middle), plenty of oak and then clove drops on the tail.
Vanilla with cinnamon and apricot Danish.

Paid $60 in NC and love this rye. The nose is the best of any rye I have had ( for context and comparison, compared this to Few rye, Sagamore, Redwood Empire), nose is a perfect cinnamon and baking spice and vanilla fudge bomb, like a cinnamon and sweet rye bread potpourri. On the palette, rich cinnamon rye toast with hints of citrus peel and oak char and caramel cinnamon and baking spiced pie. Like grandma's christmas coffee cake in a glass. Hell of a dram at 110 proof and holds up to ice
Good American spirit is a tad expensive over the pond here in Ireland but if u have to have 1 Rye in your collection this 1 is worth the splurge. Wam & spicy which u expect but without the burn & it drinks well below it's abv. It has a sorta Vanilla / Kola / Licorice thing going on.
Fantastic dram. Must have for home bar if you like rye whiskey. The nose is to die for, best rye nose ever. Palate is strong... baking slices, rye bread, caramel, vanilla, slight orange peel. Drinks so smooth for 110 proof.
For the money (at least at US prices of around $50) this is simply fantastic. Aged 6 years might seem suspiciously young for those used to Scotch ages, but for an American straight rye aged in the hotter Kentucky climate in new charred barrels it's pitch perfect. What sets it apart from the competition is how balanced it is, there is a lot going on flavor-wise but nothing is overdone and it drinks well below its 55% ABV. The rare rye that I recommend drinking neat, or with a bit of water. But don't drown it just because it says 110 proof on the bottle, it really doesn't need it. If I want to convince an American whiskey skeptic that they can do better than Jack Daniels Old No. 7, this is what I reach for now.
As an American whisky lover who doesn’t really love American whisky this is my favorite American whisky. The mashbill only contains 51% rye. In other words the bare minimum to be called rye according to U.S. law. That’s why a lot of people don’t detect a strong rye presence. It’s also the reason why this tastes so similar to bourbon, since it’s almost 40% corn. For the record all Heaven Hill products are usually excellent and they are generally the only bourbons and ryes that I buy.
