Yellow Rose Rye Whiskey

Yellow Rose Rye Whiskey comes from Yellow Rose Distilling, Houston's first legal whiskey distillery, founded in 2010 and named for the Texas folk song. Yellow Rose sources its rye from a handful of distilleries around the country, then blends and bottles it at its Houston facility, and this straight rye is built on a 95% rye mash bill, aged a minimum of two years in new American oak and bottled at 90 proof.

Bevvy rated it four stars and called it a good rye for sipping neat or mixing, recommending it especially for an Old Fashioned, with a copper-amber color, vanilla, brown sugar and oak on the nose, a palate balancing sweet vanilla and maple against spice with cooling mint and floral honey, and a smooth, easy finish of mild pepper and dry oak. Yellow Rose describes black pepper, cinnamon and clove over oak and vanilla with a hint of smokiness. It is an approachable, well-priced Texas rye with the peppery Indiana-style backbone, and it makes a fine everyday cocktail whiskey for Manhattans and Whiskey Sours.
