Bedell Cellars Melon de Bourgogne 2025 Region:Long Island This foray into rye whiskey

This foray into rye whiskey sticks close to Elijah Craig’s bourbon roots by using only the minimum-required 51% rye in its formulation

nuts and a little dried leaf character already taking this far beyond fruit

distilled in pot stills with a special blend of Nordic herbs and spices to give it its distinct flavour

with touches of dried fruit and oak
