Fortune’s Fool
The Overture Straight Rye Whiskey

Category: Straight Rye Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 54.7%
Light amber color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate powder, coconut flesh, honeycomb, and vanilla cream in Chai tea with a round, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a peppery, layered, long finish displaying suggestions of bbq burnt ends, maple, walnut, and pecan, bitter chocolate, and black tea. A bit youthful and tannic on the palate, but smells beautiful and is really quite gentle for its higher proof.
