Tasting Notes

About:

40% ABV, 80 proof, 12 years, 750ml $39.
Appearance:
Reddish tan of toffee or weak tea
Nose:
Brown sugar pop at first, leads into vibrant fruit punch, finishing with a mellower cherry
Palate:
Brown sugar again, but darker. Brown sugar continues as an undercurrent through notes of fruit candy, like skittles or runts, which blends into the butterscotch on the back palate. The finish dries out with a warm rye kick.
Finish:
Comments:
This bottle is a great representative of the future of true Canadian rye. This 100% rye is different than American ryes. While American rye tends to lean darkly sweet or grassy and spicy, this bottle is overtly fruity. It does mellow as you drink it, and the finish reminds you that it’s rye.rnrnIt’s overtly drinkable, which I wouldn’t necessarily say about some of the more complex ryes I’ve tasted. I’ll even go so far as to call this my favorite expression of Pendleton.
