J. W. Rutledge High Plains Straight Rye Whiskey is a 48.5% Rye Whiskey from Kentucky. It is packaged in a 750ml bottle. Another fine Rye Whiskey from J. W. Rutledge. In Nose Baking spices, brown sugar, apricot, dark plum, light citrus, light rye bread, light spearmint, mellow gingerbread; moderate alcohol. In Taste  Lightly sweetened tea, caramel, white pepper. The white pepper builds in the finish and is joined by some barrel char; rye bread returns in the background, and the tea and mild sweetness lingers. The finish is fairly long, with increasing spiciness as the other flavors fade away.
