Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill of 100% rye, aged in new charred oak, ex-rye barrels, and French limousin oak; aged over four years; 92 proof; about $50. I tasted batch B14.
Appearance:

Nose:

Comments:
Despite an enticing nose, the palate seems rushed and unfinished–not traits I prefer for my whiskey.
