Tastes

Amazing! Lemon and honey, peaty, long, mellow finish. Outstanding.

A bit medicinal, but very nice with a splash of water. The smoke is smooth, very fruity, balanced flavors, sweet notes.

Extremely smooth, light, oak, chocolates, a bit of smoke, some ginger, would be great with BBQ

Nice peat; more phenolic than carbolic. Fruity, vanilla, delicious

I understand that this is a Maritime Malt. I can taste the sea. Fruits and chocolate. All around a great nose, taste, and finish.

Pears, vanilla, some molasses. Very good, spicy, but not a hot finish. Good nose, with some florals, at least for me. Nice and warm, but not hot, finish.

The bottle is very nice - I like the green print and Muir quote on the label. After the crack you’ll see that see the Rye is a sparkling light caramel color. The aroma reminds me a bit of rye bread, citrus, and Werther’ toffee candy. Nice. You’ll taste the toffee in your first sip. Not as spicy as some Ryes, but it’s there, might be that it’s 90 proof. Its medium bodied, not overwhelming. Not many subtitles, I don’t think. So, I think that this Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye is a pretty good sipping Rye in a great bottle. At $30, I think that it will excel in a Manhattan. I’ll buy this Rye agsin.

Very nice taste. Smooth. Great to drink straight. Sipping whiskey. Not overpowering, not medicinal. I highly recommend this whiskey for the price. This is a great addition to your Irish arsenal.
