General description

Аромат шарлотки с зелёными яблоками. Слегка кисловатый, яркий ржаной профиль. Среднее тело. Печёные яблоки, ваниль и перец во вкусе. Дубовый вяжущий финиш с нотками пророщенной сои и корицы.
Резковат, с характером.
Но в целом очень интересный виски!

General description

Since this sucker is 95% rye, it should give me the Platonic ideal of what "rye whiskey" is, yes? I got a half-bottle for $20, which I wish they would make more of.

This one stands on its own, with lots of spices and an herbal character. But it's also tailor made for an Old Fashioned or a Kentucky Mule. A very solid buy.

Nose

The nose is potpourri, cinnamon. Earthy and rustic, like brown autumn leaves. The aroma is kind of harsh: barrel spices and finished wood. I get spicy fennel. It brings me back to childhood spearmint scratch-n-sniff stickers. Prickly orange zest.

Palate

Taste is cinnamon, mint leaf, orange peel, citrus, with a chewy, syrupy feel. A second wave of toffee and spicy ribbon candy. Black licorice and star anise. The wood is musty like an old barn.

Finish

The finish is orange rind, mixed peel, bitter grapefruit, bitters and white pepper. It is tannic and metallic. The oaky wood tastes lacquered, like nail polish remover, but in a good way?

General description

my first ever introduction with rye.
And one that I never forget.
I didn't know what to expect from rye since I never had one.
By opening the bottle it was like I've been peppersprayed (I've never been peppersprayed but I think it feels this way).
Its very sharp in the nose and eyes and mouth.
the best way to serve this whiskey is when there are people coming over you don't like.
This one is for mixing but I don't buy whiskey to mix.
I have finished the bottle but with tears in my eyes

Nose

pepperspray sharpness

Palate

even peppery than the nose not pleasant at all

Finish

I wish it was short but the sharpness of the rye sticks in your mouth like crazy

Decent for the money but I agree with another comment that it is very sharp rye aroma and taste. it's almost like drinking a dram of actual rye. even for a 95 rye mash bill it seems to be quite strong drowning all other flavors. still though I kind of liked it

General description

Bright mandarin orange on the nose eagerly elbowed aside by pungent acetone that gradually differentiated into subtle notes of vanilla and pepper. Fruit invaded the palate on first taste, before gradually but never completely submitting to powerful spices: white pepper and possibly nutmeg, before leaving a slightly bitter, herbaceous aftertaste in the wake of a brief whiff of vanilla, and a drying sensation on the tongue.

I'm not a rye fan. This particular one is not for me. Way too much spice and heat at the front end. So much front heat to the nasal passage that any complexity or flavors were stifled. Pine tar and turpntine linger on the finish. This is just not my style.
