Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye Composed of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% barley, this rye whiskey belongs to the range of single barrels from the famous Lynchburg (Tennessee) distillery. Each bottle is marked with the number of the cask from which it comes. On the nose, the oak is very present, while, in the mouth, the aromas of ripe fruit take over. A great exercise in style. 55 €

Weller 12 ans
Available exclusively in France (outside the United States) since 2020, but not always easy to find, this bourbon is unique. Perhaps because of his mashbill recipe, where rye was replaced with wheat. Add aging for twelve years, an exceptional duration in the category, and you get this eau-de-vie of remarkable sweetness and astonishing aromatic complexity. 39 €

Woodford Reserve Straight Malt WhiskeyThe Master’s collection range offers the four great styles of American whiskey. Each is made from rye, corn and malted barley blended in different proportions (with the exception of Straight Wheat Whiskey which also contains wheat). The Straight Malt Whiskey thus incorporates a majority portion of malted barley which gives it aromas of hazelnuts and chocolate underlined by fine notes of spices. 47 €
