Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Strong and sweet smelling of caramel corn and melted brown sugar. End notes of spearmint, clove, and summer fruit jam.
Palate:
Light leather and wood with a touch of honey, the tongue only slightly lingering. Low to no heat. Conclusion: I found this to be a very typical rye with a youthful, perhaps underdeveloped mouth. To me it was nothing to write home about, but the strong and unique nose would (as Yellow Rose distillery suggest) make it a good cocktail companion. FINAL SCORE: 74/100
