Standard Proof Whiskey Co’s Ginger Rye
Nose
Fresh peeled ginger root, orange peel, and punchy notes dominate the nose of Standard Proof Whiskey Co’s Ginger Rye.
Palate
The flavor follows right along with the nose, with Gin Gins Original Ginger Chews candy joining raw sugar and a hint of rye spice.
Finish
The finish is spicy, with light rye, honey, and a lingering ginger flavor.
Overall
Ginger forward from start to finish, Standard Proof Whiskey Co’s Ginger Rye is for ginger lovers, plain and simple. However, if you’re not a fan of ginger, this whiskey is likely not for you. It’s refreshing in its own unique way, but it can be a bit overpowering for those who don’t appreciate ginger flavors. If it’s too much to drink neat, it would certainly work well in ginger based cocktails
