Adnams Rye Malt

Rye has been farmed for centuries in England and this sustainably-minded brewer and distiller uses grain grown by company chairman Jonathan Adnams on his farm close to the facility in Southwold. Rye takes the lead in this 75% rye and 25% malted barley whisky matured in new medium-toast French oak casks for a minimum of 5 years. Creamy and spicy on the nose it’s slightly nutty with hints of mixed peel graham crackers hazelnut and nutmeg. A thick malty mouthfeel of toffee and cinnamon finds harmony between the sweetness crisp rye and fresh green edge of the spices. Number 20 in the 2019 Top 20
