Cream of Kentucky - Straight Rye Whiskey Bottled in Bond
Cream rises to the top, and this highly allocated, bottled in bond whiskey should be at the top of your wish list. There isn’t a lot to go around, in fact, so maybe it should go into your cart before it’s stuck on that wish list forever. Introduced in 1888, re-introduced in 1934, and then brought to new heights by distilling legend Jim Rutledge with this six-year,100-proof straight rye-whiskey, Cream of Kentucky is a top-shelf stalwart. Jim picked the barrels himself for this beauty, and there’s no denying the superb tasting experience that awaits you.
