Description:
Dad's Hat Bottled in Bond Pennsylvania Straight Rye Whiskey is a testament to the rich heritage of Pennsylvania rye. Crafted from a mash bill of 80% rye, 15% malted barley, and 5% malted rye, this expression adheres to the stringent standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. Aged for five years in charred American oak barrels, it offers a deep, rich, and concentrated flavor profile that reflects the traditional Monongahela style.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance:
  Deep amber hue, indicative of its extended aging.

• Aroma:
  Sweet grain, freshly cut grass, minty herbs, and vanilla caramel, creating an inviting and complex bouquet.

• Palate:
  Rich balance throughout the palate with black and white pepper on the tip, dry cinnamon at the center, and malt edges. Flavors of graham cracker, mint, and mild orchard fruit dissolve into dark cocoa powder and black cherry.

• Finish:
  Long, smooth, and oily, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and a gentle warmth.

Accolades:

• Dad's Hat Bottled in Bond Rye has been praised for its adherence to traditional rye whiskey standards and its complex flavor profile, though specific awards may not be listed.

This expression is a blend of five specifically selected barrels, distilled in the same season, resulting in a whiskey that embodies the essence of Pre-Prohibition Pennsylvania Bottled in Bond spirits. 

Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate its depth and complexity. Its robust character also makes it an excellent choice for classic rye-based cocktails.
