Tastes

Copied from here: https://www.whiskeyinmyweddingring.com/reviews/the-stranger-polish-rye 100% agree! The Stranger Polish Rye Review: Tasting Notes Eye: Pure amber. Nose: Gentle, clean rye flavor. Warm underlying spices. There’s a different scent there, bready, specifically rye crusts. White grape sweetness on the back. The nose is powerful, making its way to my tongue before it ever touches my lips. Palate: Spicy, but again there’s clearly something different. Great rye crust, caraway, and dark caramel. Quite savory in some ways with a buttery quality. Mouthfeel is thin-to-medium, the sweet and savory caraway seed baked and rested. Herbal and floral rye sticks on the tongue with a mild coating on the entire palate. Finish: Sweeter and fruitier than the nose or palate, introducing apricot jam and toasted nutmeg. Overall: If you need proof of how different strains of grain taste differently, look no further. I liked it more and more as I sipped. It’s clearly a departure from what I’m used to. I want to try this again and again with different ryes alongside and in a rye-forward cocktail like a Manhattan. This was a lot of fun to drink and I encourage you to try it if you can find it.
