Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass so the rye spice, dried fruit, toasted oak, and barrel proof texture can open slowly. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping, especially at 115.6 proof, to allow the heat to settle and the fruit and spice notes to become more expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"2604\" data-end=\"2944\"\u003eA few drops of water can help soften the proof and bring forward more sweetness, vanilla, and oak detail. A large ice cube can also work for a slower, more relaxed pour. For cocktails, this rye has the strength for a bold Manhattan, Sazerac, Rye Old Fashioned, Boulevardier, or whiskey sour where the spirit needs to remain clearly present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 data-section-id=\"ul2pwc\" data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"2976\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"4320\"\u003e \u003cli data-section-id=\"1eyrbed\" data-start=\"2978\" data-end=\"3282\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3074\"\u003eWhat does James E.
