“Rye Not?”
By Isabella Gascon
Beverage Manager J Adams created the “Rye Not?” cocktail, which is available at Rhubarb, the Appalachian-rooted, seasonally-focused restaurant located in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina.
This is a whiskey lover’s dream with its harmonious taste profile of nutty pecan, spiced cherry, and mild chocolate overtones.
