Tasting Notes

About:

100 proof (50% ABV), mash bill: 51% rye, 45% corn, and 4% malt, 750 ml MSRP $19.99.
Appearance:
Burnt amber.
Nose:
The initial fleeting rubber eraser smell at first nose segues into rustic flavors of lemon citrus, honey, green peppercorn, and raw pear.
Palate:
The palate offers spicy notes of warm grains, vanilla, dry raisins, and sawdust.
Finish:
Comments:
This rye is a straightforward sipper that isn’t overly complex, with a moderate flavor profile of well balanced earthy rawness. It offers a medium to long, dry finish with a texture that’s slightly more grainy than smooth. Definitely not a bad rye whiskey for the price point.
