I’m keeping it craft again today and while this rye isn’t a PA creation, it’s a dandy sipper. Steeple Ridge Sweet Mash Rye from Lonely Oak Distillery in Iowa is a very well built rye checking in at 92 proof and full of flavor. If you’ve never heard of Lonely Oak, I highly recommend checking them out on the link below. Farm to bottle they are doing it right! The wife is back on her scotch kick and of course is longing for the beaches of Aruba with this choice. Here’s to a new Steelers coach coming soon good peeps. Be well!
