Description
In the battle between the Kentucky rye stalwarts, Heaven Hill’s award-winning Pikesville rye has carved out quite the niche against Sazerac and Wild Turkey, offering a premium six year old specimen at 55% ABV for a reasonable price. Loaded with both spice and richness, Pikesville has become a huge fan favorite over the last few years on the market, garnering big prizes from the SF Spirits Competition and beyond.
The initial resurrection of the Pikesville rye label about a decade ago was met with some confusion, as Pikesville was a historic Maryland brand being moved over to Kentucky. Was Heaven Hill bringing back the Maryland rye style or just incorporating the label into their standard rye mash recipe?
In 2023, after giving consumers plenty of time to adjust, Pikesville has become the smash hit that Heaven Hill was hoping for. Now produced in Kentucky from extra-aged barrels stored in prime warehouse locations, we’re inviting you to see what the fuss is about. With huge flavors of barrel char and rye spice, and a blistering 110 proof that dials up the intensity, it’s a whiskey that demands your attention.
