New York Distilling Company's rye whiskey has long been anticipated by cocktail enthusiasts around the world. Well wait no longer, mixologists, Ragtime Rye is ready to enjoy! Using a mashbill of 72% rye (which was specially grown for NYDC in New York State), 16% corn and 12% malted barley, then matured for at least three years in 53 gallon American oak barrels. The distillers in Brooklyn have created an excellent whiskey for all manner of rye-based cocktails - Manhattans ahoy!
An elegant nose full of red berry and clean, classic rye notes. Touches of cherry, golden syrup and a hint of white pepper. Perhaps a whiff of salted liquorice.
Brilliantly mouth-coating. The rye spice gets dialled up a notch here, alongside hearty helpings of nutmeg and cinnamon. Still has plenty of berry notes to it (think blackberry and a hint of raspberry), though now with a pleasing orange glaze.
Subtly drying, with very evocative notes of fresh, juicy clementine lasting. Red rope liquorice, too.

A great rye whisky, not only for making a fantastic Manhattan cocktail, but for sipping straight up on a cold winter night.
Love it! Just what I need for the perfect manhattan.
Really rich and intense flavours from this - a great rye - not just for cocktails, but sippin' too.
