McKenzie Straight Bourbon Whiskey

McKenzie Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the standard-proof bourbon from Finger Lakes Distilling in Burdett, New York, on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region. The distillery built its McKenzie line as a grain-to-glass New York whiskey, using New York-grown grain, water drawn from the Seneca Lake aquifers, open-top fermentation, and a 25-foot Vendome copper column still with a thumper. This bourbon is made from a mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley, aged four years, and bottled at 91 proof (45.5% ABV), so it sits a little below the brand's 100-proof bottled-in-bond releases and carries more rye spice than the wheated McKenzie. Breaking Bourbon's review found oak, grain, vanilla, and light corn syrup on the nose; vanilla, oak, light peach, white peppercorn, and faint rye spice on the palate; and a finish of new oak, white pepper, vanilla cream, corn bread, rye spice, and a touch of leather. It is a good pick for anyone who wants to explore craft bourbon from outside Kentucky, and at this proof it works well in highballs, a Whiskey Sour, or a Manhattan, as well as on the rocks.
