Prohibition shuttered most of the once-booming Maryland Rye industry, but Pikesville, produced since the 1890s, re-emerged in 1936 and became the lone brand to keep this style of Rye alive. Having stored away extra-aged barrels, Heaven Hill reclaims the past with Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey. Pikesville 110 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey is a high-proof, super-premium straight rye whiskey drawn from specially selected barrels aged at least six years. Rye whiskey is enjoying a renaissance, led by mixologists and enthusiasts who enjoy its full flavor, mixability, and long and storied history.
