HUGHES BELLE OF BEDFORD 104 PROOF 750 ML

The respected name of Hughes Bros. Distilling has been resurrected by Cyrus Kehyari, great-great-grandson of the original founder, with straight rye whiskey distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to specifications in keeping with the Hughes Bros. historic house style. Every barrel is carefully selected, the rye proofed with water from the Alleghany mountain spring on the original family estate in Bedford, Pennsylvania, and each release is bottled by hand. Producer:Hughes Bros. Distillers Vintage: NV Country: United States Region: Pennsylvania Spirit Type: Rye SIZE- 750 TASTING NOTES Belle of Bedford is distilled in Lawrenceburg, IN, with a mash bill of 95% Rye and 5% Barley—carefully chosen to best reflect the original recipe distilled by John J Hughes in the 19th century—and proofed with Alleghany Mountain spring water drawn from the original Hughes family estate in Bedford County, PA. This 8-year-old straight rye whiskey was aged in char #4 barrels and bottled at 52% ABV with no chill filtering. Aromas of creamy vanilla and light butterscotch transition to a palate of big spice, brown sugar, and roasted coffee, finishing with a pronounced note of rye grain and light smoke.
