ShortcrossRye & Malt

Shortcross Rye & Malt is a blended whisky combining rye and malt whiskies, bottled at 46% ABV and presented here at 5 years old. For a novice drinker, that usually suggests a style with some youthful energy alongside a mix of grain spice and malt character.

As a blend with rye in the recipe, it is likely to lean more toward peppery, spicy notes than a softer all-malt style. The moderate bottling strength should help it keep good flavour while remaining approachable with a little water if desired.
