Liberty Pole Spirits Old Monongahela Full Proof (Batch D24), 54%

Price: 64 Issue: Fall 2025 Reviewer: Category: Rye Whiskey

Made from a mash of 61% rye, 13% wheat, 13% rye malt, and 13% barley malt, this nod to Pennsylvania’s distilling past is blended from just six barrels. The nose is dank, with overripe berries and bananas, and a strong backbone of dill and cardamom. The sip is sweeter, with chocolate-covered raisins, salted caramel, and toasted rye bread. The finish is balanced by a strong roasted grain character.
