J.W. Kelly Melrose Rye Whiskey
J.W. Kelly Melrose Rye Whiskey revives a Chattanooga, Tennessee whiskey name that dates to the 1860s, when J.W. Kelly & Co. was one of the city's biggest distillers before Tennessee went dry in 1910. The modern brand calls Melrose Chattanooga's inaugural rye, and it stands out for its finish: after initial aging in American white oak that was air-dried for two years, then lightly toasted and charred, the rye is finished in hand-selected Amarone wine casks from Italy and bottled at 92 proof.
Amarone is made from partially dried grapes, and its rich, raisiny character shows up clearly. The Whiskey Wash found clove and ginger rye spice with vanilla, dried stone fruit, prune and raisin on the nose, unusually sweet caramel building into clove and nutmeg on the palate, and a finish of raisin, molasses, oak and orange, describing it as a decadent, dessert-like rye best enjoyed in small pours. The brand adds cherry and cinnamon. If you like sherry-finished whiskey, this is worth a look.
