About Luca Mariano Single Barrel Rye
Luca Mariano Single Barrel Rye is a premium Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey bottled at 51.5% ABV (103 proof), sourced from Wilderness Trail Distillery and selected by Luca Mariano Distillery. This single barrel expression stands out for its rich balance of sweetness and spice, aged approximately 7 years in American white oak casks, delivering bold flavors that earned it Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2023 and Best Rye Whiskey at the Fall 2022 John Barleycorn Awards. What makes it special is the masterful interplay of grapefruit-clove aromatics, honeyed palate with nutmeg and bubblegum, and a dry, peppery finish—offering complexity rare in ryes at this $71.55/750ml price point. Ideal for rye enthusiasts seeking a high-proof sipper or versatile cocktail base like a Whiskey Sour, it compares favorably to bolder Kentucky ryes like Wilderness Trail's own, surpassing lighter small-batch siblings in intensity and depth while remaining accessible.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose bursts with grapefruit and cloves reminiscent of barrel-aged gin, layered with cardamom, cherries, and a dusty grain room vibe. Leathery vanilla mingles with robust rye spice, caramel, herbal notes, and tobacco for a rich, inviting profile.
👅 Palate
Sweet honey and bubblegum meet intense herbaceous dryness, nutmeg, and cherries on a full-bodied entry. Signature rye spice shines with black pepper, oak, brown spices, green apple, and caramel, complemented by a slight leathery mouthfeel.
✨ Finish
Medium to long and dry, with vanilla, peppers, cinnamon, melon, banana, and orange lingering warmly.
