Crittenden 4 Year Bottled in Bond Rye
100 Proof | 55% Rye / 28% Corn / 17% Malted Barley

Nose:
Bright and inviting with notes of fresh citrus and crisp red apples leading the way. The elevated malted barley content contributes a rich grain-forward character, adding layers of sweetness and depth that complement the fruit beautifully.

Palate:
Creamy and approachable with flavors of toasted pecan, baked apples, and buttery pie crust. Hints of orange blossom bring a delicate floral sweetness, while a touch of white pepper provides just enough rye spice to maintain balance without overwhelming the palate.

Finish:
Medium in length with a gentle transition into sweet leather, lingering orchard fruit, and soft baking spice. The finish remains elegant and easy-drinking, showcasing the whiskey’s balance between sweetness, grain character, and restrained rye influence.

Overall:
A well-rounded, Bottled-in-Bond rye that leans into fruit, sweetness, and texture rather than aggressive spice. The higher malted barley content helps create a softer, creamier profile that should appeal to both rye enthusiasts and bourbon drinkers looking to explore the category. 🥃🍎🍊
