Posted on 29 March 2018 by

Roughstock Montana Straight Rye Whiskey, 45%

Posted on 26 April 2016 by

This second Roughstock whiskey is a 100% rye whiskey from Montana. It came third in Shai’s samples and, as the rest, it wasn’t labeled. It’s labeled as a straight rye whiskey, and there’s no age statement I can discern, so … Continue reading →
