Description

A spicy, fruity, delicious spirit drink – as you might expect, FEW Rye makes a mean Manhattan.

With an ample proportion of rye in its mashbill, along with corn and malted barley, FEW Rye is a fantastic example of top-notch American craft distilling. It comes from Evanston, Illinois, a city that suffered Prohibition for over one hundred years thanks to many of its advocates hailing from its dry streets. In fact, FEW rather cheekily takes its name from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Expressive aroma of roasted pineapples, citrus and smoke.

Palate: Hints of peppercorn and allspice lead to notes of figs, tobacco, dark caramel, mellow vanilla and cinnamon.

Finish: Chocolate, peppery finish.
