Rye July - celebrate it the Tennessee way

Jul 29, 2020

What a better way to celebrate the change of seasons than to delve into some rye cocktails with a twist and a little help from Jack Daniel’s.

Whiskey was the original spirit of choice in cocktails for the 19th century bartender folk and drinks have been evolving ever since. To celebrate the first new mash bill out of the Jack Daniel’s distillery in over 150 years, we’ve been enjoying some new plays on some favorites such as the Rye Tai, but also cannot resist a simple Rye & Dry or Rye & Yuzu highball when the opportunity presents.

Rye whiskey brings so much flavour to the glass for these and other whiskey-forward favorites, and with Jack Daniel’s Rye armed with a 70% rye mashbill and at 90 proof, who could pass at seeing in Rye July with a friendly face we all know in Jack Daniel’s.
