Two Souls Spirits 5-Year Dark Pumpernickel Rye (Middle West Spirits) review

Tasting Notes

About:

A rye whiskey distilled from pumpernickel rye out of Ohio and double barrel aged for over five years. It is bottled at 126.7 proof and priced at $94.99.
Appearance:
There’s an intense amber color in the glass, offering up moderate legs and viscosity.
Nose:
The aromatics on this one definitely bring a spicy pepper on the front, but it is equally sweet in a strawberry bubble gum kind of consideration. Backing these up are notes of oak, a good amount of anise, fresh cut grass and a bit of apricot.
Palate:
This is spicy and a bit doughy on the palate, conveying a sense of fall time and the baking of bread as one watches the leaves changing through the kitchen window. The complex and layered flavors deliver warm cherries, star anise, coriander, oak, vanilla, and a slight kick of gingerbread.
Finish:
The finish is a pop, a heavy breath out, and a moderate ending, as it holds your attention mesmerizingly.
Comments:
Two Souls Spirits 5-Year Dark Pumpernickel Rye (Middle West Spirits) has quite a taste profile. It is definitely a whiskey one should consider enjoying during the fall months. It is deep and delicious.
