Dark and rich color, like an old penny... On the nose, I get, well, candied grapes and cinnamon and dark, old wood and fresh navel oranges. It has a soft and smooth mouth feel with complex flavor. I get understated, sweet grapes plus cinnamon, nutmeg, new leather, and some citrus. It finishes quickly. The flavors are mellow and work very well together.

Doc Swinson's Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum Casks (Release No. 3)
Rye — USA
Reviewed April 8, 2021Starts with a peppery spice and then goes to a sugary sweet from the rum casks. It was okay neat... I will use it for old fashioneds, where it does very well. -
Nose - quick whiff of cut grass quickly overtaken by vanilla and fruit Taste - spicy, rich, and smooth. Sweet rum undertones. Definitely a rye but with something more. Finish - sweet and fruity fading to lingering spice A drop of water sweetened the nose. It also magnified the oakiness and shortened the finish.
