McKenzie Rye Whiskey 750ml
McKenzie Rye Whiskey is made from local rye grain & is distilled using old-time techniques. We age this whiskey in new charred oak casks and finish in sherry barrels from local wineries. The sherry balances the spiciness of the rye & gives a nod to the wine region where it's from. McKenzie Rye is named for Finger Lakes Distilling master distiller Thomas Earl McKenzie and distillery owner Brian McKenzie, who are oddly of no relation. They keep more of the "tails" of the distillate in the cut, their aesthetic choice for preserving the whiskey's natural flavor. The whiskey is aged up to 1.5 years in 10 gallon barrels, then aged in 53 gallon casks from local sherry producers in the Seneca Wine Trail of upstate NY. All grain is locally sourced.

About the brand
We are producers and purveyors of McKenzie Whiskey. We are also a New York State Farm Distillery, which means that we’re a small operation making a handcrafted product. We use locally grown fruits and grains to make high quality, handcrafted spirits. We’re able to devote all our attention to everything we make; we don’t take any shortcuts. Our flavored vodkas an liqueurs are made in the traditional manner, by soaking real fruits in the spirit. We don’t add extracts or synthetic flavoring to speed up the process. Our whiskies rest in oak barrels for as long as they need to, until they mature into the rich aged spirit we offer with pride. Our Vision FLD Building shotAlthough the distillery is young, our vision is built on a foundation of tradition. The design of our distillery is inspired by the classic style of Scottish whisky distilleries, with its white walls, black trim, and elegant pagoda roof. Inside the distillery is spacious and sunlit, with the stills and barrels full of slowly aging whiskey viewable from the tasting room and store. Keeping with our traditional vision, we believe in minimizing waste and using everything. Spent grains from fermentation are used by local farmers as animal feed. The oak floors of our distillery are reclaimed siding from a tobacco barn in Kentucky, and the wood bordering our tasting bar also used to be part of a local barn. In line with our commitment to honest products and services, Finger Lakes Distilling maintains a transparent and clearly communicated privacy policy available here for our customers and website visitors.

Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is spicy with only a slight rye aroma, not at all what I expected from a rye whiskey. There is also a heavy nut aroma, walnut maybe? A very nice scent overall. With a splash of water the walnut dialed back a little and I got more spice and rye, with a little caramel.
Taste
Without any water or ice I got, as expected, heavy rye on the front, a nice bit of allspice, nutty and a faint woody floral mix. I was expecting a splash of water to open the flavor up as it did the nose but it was unaffected by the water. Still a very consistent rye, spice taste.
Finish
The finish was good. The rye makes a fast retreat but the nutty, spicy flavor takes a little while to figure out where the door is.
