Category: Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey
Date Tasted:
7/24/2023
Country: USA
Alcohol: 46.5%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of macadamia gelato sundae, coconut cream pie, apple tart a la mode with dulce de leche, and caramelized carrots and hay with a supple, crisp, dry-yet-fruity full body and a sleek, compelling, long finish that shows elements of mocha latte, vanilla mint bark, root beer float, and sage. A nicely executed cask-finished Rye Whiskey that deftly uses wood finishing to add sweet creaminess and depth to a spicy foundation.

About
Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey
Rye Whisky must contain a minimum of 51% rye grain, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof) and be aged for a minimum of two years in new charred barrels. A small amount of straight Rye whiskey is bottled and marketed, but most of the industry production is blended into other whiskies to give them additional character and structure. Canadians frequently refer to their whisky as "Rye," though it is in fact made primarily from corn or wheat. A Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey will undergo additional maturation in one or more barrels, the previous contents of which contribute to the aromas and flavors of the final product. Examples include but are not limited to used Rum, Cognac, Port, Sherry, Madeira, Stout, and maple barrels.
