Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill is 100% Texas-grown Rye. 58% ABV (116 Proof). SRP $65/750 mL.
Appearance:
The burnt orange of a fiery sunset.
Nose:
Elegant and rich aromas of crystalized ginger and cherry almond pastry, some earthy, grassy elements emerge after a few minutes.
Palate:
Oooh yum. I was thrilled at the first taste, met with peach and ginger notes, complemented by elements of citrus, but more like lemonade, summery and young, with baking spices on the medium finish.
Finish:
Comments:

I was so impressed by this rich and complex Rye! In addition to enjoying a grain-to-glass experience, the whiskey is effortlessly sippable with an effervescent mouthfeel. Not too sweet, perfectly balanced, and absolutely award worthy.
