Straight Rye Whiskey

Category: Straight Rye Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 50%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of butterscotch flan, lemon ice tea, caramel corn and candy corn, and toffee with a round, crisp, dry full body and a warming, engaging, buoyant finish displaying notes of butterscotch dipped vanilla ice cream, heath bar, peanut brittle, and candied black pepper corns. A totally toasty, tasty barrel forward Whiskey that deftly hides the higher proof and the rye spice until the finish.
