Description
Named for the cats that hold court in New York's corner stores, Bodega Cat Straight Rye Whiskey is a straightforward rye with a bit of an attitude. The 750 ml bottle is filled at 90 proof (45% ABV), made without pretense or extra frills, and it carries that particular New York mix of easygoing and spirited with a mischievous streak running through it.
The nose leads with bold cinnamon and earthy herbs, backed by caramel and toasted oak. On the palate it turns smooth, with honeyed rye, mint, and a light malt sweetness rounding things out. It works for drinkers who already know their way around rye as well as those just getting into the category, with flavor rooted in NYC tradition.
