Filmland Spirits “Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut” review

Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill of 95% Rye and 5% Malted Barley. Aged 4+ years in American White Oak, produced and distilled in Kentucky. ABV 54% (108-Proof). Small Batch release with a SRP of $74.95.
Appearance:
The whiskey has a hue like that of baled hay with flecks of darker orange.
Nose:
I enjoyed the spiciness on the nose, opening with faint apricot and a stronger plastic note, like vinyl on a warm day.
Palate:
The word that springs to mind is “punchy.” The whiskey hits hard off the bat, with high rye and a beautifully balanced heat and pleasantly oily mouthfeel. Notes of tangerine, macadamia nut, and cloves are consistent throughout.
Finish:
Comments:
Filmland Spirits is something special, a brand of whiskey that isn’t just a gimmick, but a thoroughly thought-out experiment in blending passions. Film and whiskey just go together perfectly! “Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut” is a wonderful rye whiskey, and I’m excited to enjoy it with some orange-infused simple syrup and orange bitters for a tasty Old Fashioned and a fun classic sci-fi film.
