MARYLAND RYE WHISKEY

DESCRIPTION

Yep, Tenth Ward’s Maryland Rye Whiskey is really MADE IN MARYLAND! With rye grown and malted right here in Frederick, MD. It’s also distilled from a 100% malted rye mash bill, technically making it a single malt. That’s because we believe in being bold and in your face with our flavor profiles and because rye whiskey was historically our state’s signature spirit, so go rye or go home right?

TASTING NOTES

Jammy notes of plum and chocolatey malt. Brief boom of pepper in the center. Finishes dry and malty.
