MARYLAND RYE
DESCRIPTION
Yep, Tenth Ward’s Maryland Rye Whiskey is really MADE IN MARYLAND! It’s also distilled from a 100% malted rye mash bill. 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. Finished dry and malty.
