Loat Lantern 2024 Single Cask #4: Tom's Foolery 9 year-old Ohio Straight Rye
Rye — Ohio, USA
Reviewed April 9, 2024N: creme brulee with caramel sauce, lemon peel, evergreen forsest and apple cinnamon streudel. P: drinks like it smells, but better. The proof is in the first sip then fades quickly revealing intense stewed apples with cinnamon. The evergreen, vanilla and rye spice play a balanced supporting role. Ending with that sweet, creamy finish of brown sugar, spice and pine. Wonderful pour!120.0 USD per Bottle -
Nose: coffee, chocolate, molasses, port richness, and sweet tobacco. When I first smelled this I though of a Navy rum like Pussers. Its that weird and funky, the spice characteristics are there, just not how you'd expect them. Palate: Rich allspice is balanced by a raisin/port like concentrated sweetness, soft cereal grain and oak, with warming ethanol. Finish makes me think of chewing on a prune. OAL: This drinks like a finished rye. I was expecting a rich rye whiskey considering how they barrel age and got a hell of a lot more than I bargained for! Midwinters, Sagamore Sherry finish and every other High West finished pick beware!105.0 USD per Bottle

Buzzard's Roost Toasted Barrel Straight Rye
Rye — Indiana (finished in Kentucky), USA
Reviewed January 27, 2023It's youth shows, but only a little. The cinnamon toast grain is heavy in the nose and soft on the pallete combined with rich vanilla and light oak. Turns to a light cinnamon red hot in the finish. -
Dominant herbal, floral quality in the nose, but more flavor is found upon tasting. You get those notes with the addition of caramel apple with a light honey sweetness flowing into the finish. The oak takes a back seat revealing itself as a light dryness. Better than than the normal black label IMO.

George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend (2021 Release)
Rye — USA
Reviewed October 10, 2022 (edited January 24, 2023)Just did a 4 way RYE blind with Sagamore 8, Pikesville, E.H. Taylor and this bottle. It didnt win like I expected it to (came in third) but still damn good! Oily and mouth coating with a long finish. Nothing normal for a rye nose IMO: spiced apple and chamomile. The flavor was herbal & floral, a real bouquet, also light rye spice and earthiness. An experience for sure, but I like a touch more fruit and sweet notes.
