Smooth on the palate, thanks to its artisanally distilled, organic Pennsylvania rye grains. Order: Thai iced tea or a mango lassi, then sip away a few inches to make room for a shot of vodka. Mix with straw. 

 

Dad’s Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey Mountain Laurel Spirits 
Smooth and floral, delivering an upfront spice that’s characteristic of rye whiskey, and finishing with a full, round mouth feel. Underlying notes of dried fruit and black cherry, with hints of tobacco, vanilla and oak. Order: Ice, ginger ale, soda water and a lemon slice. Mix one part of each to make a Presbyterian.
