Fall Whiskey Cocktails Need Amaro Fall Rye Amaro Cocktail – But I’m Not Bitter Look for something with a good balance of spice and sweetness, but one that can blend well with more complex flavors we’ll be adding with the amaro.

By law, the mash bill must contain 51% rye, bottled at no lower than 80 proof, aged in new charred oak containers and go into the barrel at no more than 125 proof.

The higher malted barley content makes me think of a sweet Speyside Scotch, but the nose also has a good bit of oak and baking spices as well.

Some ryes taste so like bourbon it’s hard to tell them apart except for the more rounded mouthfeel of the rye whiskey. Instead of reaching for bourbon for this cocktail, I wanted to play with the flavors of rye.
