Tasting Notes

About:

108 proof (54% ABV). Mashbill mixes: (95% rye, 5% malted barley), 95% rye, 5% malted barley), and (52% rye, 43% corn, 5% malted barley). Finished in Sherry French Revere Oak. 750ml bottle. MSRP $74.99.
Appearance:
This rye whiskey has a nice medium red color.
Nose:
There is a hint of smoky coconut, with a touch of tropical fruit tones.
Palate:
The first thing that seems to hit the tongue is a nice mint or herbal tea taste. There is also a lovely hint of oak and what I would describe as a oak sap flavor.
Finish:
Comments:
The Pursuit United Oak Collection Blended Straight Rye Whiskey, just like it’s fellow Oak collection bourbon, has a very unique flavor profile. This is definitely not your ‘normal’ or average rey whiskey. Once again, there does seem to be a lot going on in this flavor profile. While a solid product, it may be a good choice to use as a mixer in a cocktail that would help bring out the different flavors, or to compliment similar flavor profiles.

Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.

James Logan is an enthusiast with a background in food service and retail management. In his mid-20s, he developed a deep passion for whiskey-based drinks. After receiving a bottle of 15-year-old Scotch whisky as a birthday gift, he embarked on a yearly ritual of exploring a new brand of Scotch whisky. James thoroughly enjoys sampling each new brand and age, comparing them with previous selections. While not a whiskey or writing expert, he hopes his "average guy" perspective will resonate with those starting their whiskey journey, providing them with the guidance he missed out on.
