Pikesville Straight Rye is the name of one of the most celebrated rye whiskeys in recent history. Its brand and name date back to 1895 in Maryland, a region once renowned for its robust and well-loved rye whiskey production. Like much of the U.S. whiskey industry, the Maryland distillery, L. Winand & Brothers Distillery, closed during the Prohibition era of the 1920s. Today, however, Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky proudly upholds the legacy of this brand, producing a rye whiskey that is highly praised by enthusiasts and critics alike.
Pikesville Straight Rye is crafted with a mash bill comprising 51% rye, 39% corn, and 10% malted barley. It is aged for approximately 6 years in new American white oak barrels and bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV).
