About Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey
Uncle Nearest Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100% rye mash bill bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) by Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, a Tennessee-based distillery. This sourced Canadian rye represents an elevated take on the category, delivering bold rye spice balanced with rich, layered flavors. What makes it special is its commitment to a pure rye composition—uncommon among American distilleries—matured in used Uncle Nearest barrels before bottling. It's ideal for rye enthusiasts who appreciate straightforward, spice-forward profiles without excessive sweetness. At $44 for a 750ml bottle, it competes well against other premium ryes while standing out for its 100% rye mashbill, an area currently underdeveloped in the American whiskey market.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Bold and decadent with prominent notes of praline, nutmeg, and white pepper. The aroma evokes freshly baked rye bread with hints of sourdough, vanilla, and brown butter, creating an inviting and complex bouquet.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers a strong hit of black pepper spice upfront, followed by rye grain and candied orange notes that introduce sweetness mid-palate. Flavors of cinnamon toast, brown sugar, toffee, and light vanilla cream create a thick, well-balanced mouthfeel with lingering heat.
✨ Finish
Long, rich, and well-balanced with notes of white pepper, seasoned oak, and leather. The finish lingers warmly on the tongue with crisp rye and char notes that remain without becoming astringent.
