Tastes

Nose- plum and other dark fruits though in a funky fermented way. garden herbs and a bit of tobacco Taste- raisins galore, some peach, a rye bready note, clove, honey Finish- medium and earthy with faint spice, nice oily mouthfeel If you’re big on raisins and plum notes in your rye, this is for you

Nose- sweet and desserty. Maple, caramel, honey buns. Reminds me of AE rye Taste- not as sweet as the nose lets on which is a good thing! More caramel-y pastries, honey and pear/apple. Similar toasted flavor that I get from something like WR DO but not as sweet and a smidge astringent Finish- lighter and on the sweet side, candied orange and dry oak

N- tangerines, almond extract and a hint of chocolate. pleasant T- punchy but well balanced. Wintergreen freshness, vanilla shortbread and a bit more citrus. Loads of rye spice and cinnamon candies on the backend F-spicy with a vanilla oak astringency In your face in a polite and balanced way. Proof gives a range of flavors to sift through. Really enjoyable!

Nose- spiced apples, hay, and a hit of sweet vanilla oaky goodness Taste- loads of baking spices, dark fruits and crème brûlée Finish- medium, more of that spiced apples and dark red fruits, the spice really rips through Simple but refined and tasty

Nose- just a fantastic nose. Berry reduction, leather, vanilla bean and rye spice. Faintest bit of ethanol Taste- a bit more dialed back than the nose would let on, maybe due to the proof. But still a great mix of Cherry, candied pecan, lots of oak and baking spices. High rye definetely comes though Finish- brown sugar sweetness followed by black pepper and black tea Awesome balance of red berry sweetness and oak influence- this is a fantastic pour.

Nose- Carmels, sugary citrus, spearmint, very mild and approachable Taste- notes closely follow the nose. as light as you’d expect for 90 proof but refreshing and on the sweeter side Finish - light/mediume, crisp. Very easy to drink. Bit of rye spice and carwmlizes sugars A really solid budget rye!

Nose- cherry syrup, malt, banana bread, fair hit of acetone for 90 proof Taste- pretty mellow and approachable. Light caramels, sour fruits, and decent oak influence. Vanilla sweetness on the back end Finish- light and bitter. some spice finally showing up, more oak influence

Nose- a deep caramel, some burnt orange and heavy barrel char. Ethanol was almost non existentaftwr 20 minutes of rest Taste- initial hit of sweetness, burnt sugars and caramel bun. Followed by wet oak and a grassy note that reminds me of a high rye bourbon. Nice spice level to boot. Really well balanced and drinks below its proof Finish- long finish with baking spice, orange zest, cinnamon rolls and barrel influence lingering Thoughts: so damn good. Killer balance of sweet and spicy with just the right amount of oak influence
