Tasting Notes

Nose

The rye spice is secondary here to the wood notes. I get honey, brown sugar, apricots, and brazil nuts – but not a lot of spice.

Palate

The ryegrass is much more evident in the mouth than in the nose, but it’s still subtle all things considered. Interestingly, I taste candy corn, along with cinnamon, pecan pie, and what comes across as a mesquite-wood flavor.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Mash bill of 100% estate-grown rye, aged at least five years; 93 proof/46.5% alcohol; limited annual release; $54
