Rye? Rye!

Jim Beam is of course renowned as a giant of the bourbon world, but I couldn't resist picking up a bottle of their Rye Whiskey when I spied it in the local Montgomery County Liquor Store. At $10 a bottle, I thought it was well worth a try. Rye whiskey is made from at least 51% rye. This one is aged four years in oak barrels and has great sweet and sour nose, spice and even some caramel. Definitely worth the price.
