The Woody Creek Distillers Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey is a quite light in color – a few shades off from a glass of white wine. A lovely saffron-yellow, the legs are thin and fast.
Nose:

Palate:
The first sip goes down sweet and oh-so smooth. It’s a fruity drink, with hints of raisin and Honeycrisp apple. It lacks the lingering sharpness of many whiskeys, leaving a juicy, cider-like aftertaste on the back of the tongue. If the nose holds a whiff of summer, then on the palate it’s doubly so. Final Thoughts: Woody Creek Distillers’ Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey continues to earn the stellar reputation that the distillery established with its vodka. A wonderful combination of sweet and flavorful, the whiskey is a joy to drink. It’s something I would share with my whiskey-hesitant friends as an argument against the whiskey-drinker-as-masochist trope – and yet, there’s enough of a flavor profile here to keep any rye veteran coming back for more. FINAL SCORE: 91/100
