Tasting Notes

Nose

The lychee and oolong tea finish is something I’ve never tried – or even heard of – before. It is evident in the nose right away. There’s an herbal, slightly citrusy, black tea scent that isn’t typical of other ryes I’ve had in the past. The rye spice, meanwhile, is understated.

Palate

It also doesn’t taste like most ryes. That’s either really interesting or potentially off-putting, depending upon how much of a purist you are. In this case, WhistlePig has certainly decided to lean into the experiment. It’s lighter and sweeter than the WhistlePig 10 I usually drink, and the fruity, citrusy sensibility I found in the nose is still there. I’m not familiar with lychee, but there’s some fruit in this.
