Tasting Notes

About:

45% ABV (90 proof); mash bill made up of 95% rye and 5% malted barley; No age statement is given, but it is finished in red wine barrels from Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Minnesota; Only available in Minnesota; 375mL $17.
Appearance:
Deep coppery amber.
Nose:
The first thing I unexpectedly get is a lot of pine. Also at the forefront is tart green apple and ripe pear. I get an underlying cinnamon note, as well as fresh homemade soft caramel chews that remind me of the kind you find along the coast in a candy shop.
Palate:


Finish:
Comments:
Twin Spirits M Whiskey is complex with nuances from both the nose and palate. It’s lovely and amazing to see women infiltrating the whiskey world that has pretty much been a men’s club for hundreds of years. I have never tasted a two grain mash bill with 95% rye that has been so enthralling. I enjoyed every sip, and think whiskey-goers will love being surprised as much as I did. I can’t wait for nationwide distribution. Luckily I have friends in Minnesota who can get me some.
