Every Brook Hill release is a single barrel, bottled at full natural cask strength, and assigned a codename rather than a batch number. XMUSICXCITY places this barrel in Nashville's orbit — bold, expressive, unmistakably American rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose —\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted rye bread, caramelized brown sugar, vanilla bean, candied orange peel, fresh coffee, cinnamon and clove, leather, tobacco leaf, roasted pecans, polished oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate —\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterscotch, toffee, vanilla custard, cracked black pepper, dark chocolate, espresso, dried cherries, orange zest, toasted walnut, mature oak.

Brook Hill releases are identified by codename instead of batch number; XMUSICXCITY reads as \"Music City,\" Nashville's nickname.

A few drops of water will open the nose and soften the proof. At this age and price point it is a sipping and collecting bottle rather than a mixing rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy Brook Hill \"Music City\" 15 Year Rye online?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
