  • Cody Road Rye Whiskey

    Rye — Iowa, USA

    Light color and flavor. Floral and grain nose. Thin, sweet grain, then slightly antiseptic up front. Some rye spice comes on in the finish. Short finish. Could definitely improve with more age in oak.

    4 years ago 2014, not good, odd hot pepper iodine. I hear it is better, but I'm shy to give it another try.

    had this 10 years ago when they were first starting. iodine and dust. I understand it's a better product now--their single barrel bourbon and Outryder certainly are quality products.

    spicy rye comes through up front. not sweet, but floral vanilla oak and then dry finish. nice rye to sip, but pricey for the competition out there.

    Great representation of Japanese style and distilling skill. Light in color, vanilla oak and grass hay on the nose. Sweet corn, cereal grain, vanilla, and caramel in the mouth. Oily mouthfeel, short finish with a little oak and spice. Japanese whisky without the peat smoke.

    Another unusual gin flavor profile people will love or hate, depending on how you're drinking it. Sweet and lightly floral, with just a little spice or juniper. Medium viscosity and mouthfeel. Mix it in a simple Tom Collins to taste it. Beautiful color.

    My standard for gin. Juniper dominates, but not a heavy piney-woods scent. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, balanced by dry coriander and cardamom. Vanilla merges with a light lemon peel flavor. Long dry finish, soft and warming. Juniper, herbal spice, citrus, clean and distinctive flavor works in any cocktail. Not as juniper-forward as some London dry gins, but softer and more balanced all around. If I had only one gin on the shelf it would be Plymouth, everyday.

    Light sweet nose. Some little peat and smoke, but more floral and grassy grain sweetness and vanilla. Good, not unusual.
