Overview

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey is a bold, award-winning expression of Maryland-style rye with deep historical roots and a modern resurgence. Originally produced in Maryland and now distilled by Heaven Hill in Kentucky, Pikesville is aged six years and bottled at a robust 110 proof (55% ABV), offering both power and finesse.

On the nose, Pikesville opens with rich aromas of toasted oak, dark cocoa, and honeyed rye grain. The palate is full-bodied and warming, with complex layers of dry spice, caramel, vanilla, and hints of citrus peel. A touch of cocoa and char lingers on the long, peppery finish, delivering classic rye spice with elegant smoothness.

This is a standout choice for rye lovers who appreciate depth, structure, and a bit of a punch. Pikesville Rye is a true gem in the rye renaissance and a must-have on any serious whiskey shelf. 

Awards & Recognition

Pikesville has earned critical acclaim, including “Best Rye Whiskey” and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
