Stoll & Wolfe Straight Keystone Rosen Rye Whiskey

Tasting Notes

About:

Aged two years in a single eight-year-seasoned white oak barrel. 102 Proof (51% ABV). Mash Bill: Keystone Rosen Rye. 375ml.
Appearance:
A pleasant golden brown, reminiscent of a beautiful, hazy summer sunset.
Nose:
A touch warm on the nose, but the ethanol vapors are mellow. A friendly combination of brown sugar and candied almond. And as I’m prone to do, I let the nose evoke scent memories— and some people may not understand this (but to me it’s very pleasant)—a whiff of lemon Pledge as I walk by a table that grandma had just wiped clean.
Palate:
A rich spirit that punches above its age-weight. Spicy and hot on the back of the throat. Pepper lingers on the tongue with a woody aftertaste. This rye whiskey will stand up and be noticed in cocktails.
Finish:
Comments:
This first release was made available through Stoll & Wolfe’s website via a very limited quantity lottery. According Laura Fields, founder of the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation, an agricultural PA non-profit, “[p]roduction of this core product will begin to ramp up this year, making this heritage rye whiskey a core product at Stoll & Wolfe Distillery.” The upside for those interested in tasting this heritage grain whiskey? While you will have to wait, you won’t be left wanting for too long.
