Tasted as Day 9 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2023. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the type of barrel/cask used for maturation, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This rye whiskey was ged in New Charred Oak and finished for 5 months in Madeira Casks. This whiskey was a store pick by The Party Source (Bellevue, KY). Ry3 is a whiskey made by Phenomenal Spirits in Virginia Beach, VA; and they source whiskey. This rye is a combination of 3 mash bills from both the US and Canada, comprised of 3 different aged whiskeys as well. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
