2XO The Innkeepers Blend

Spicy from the high rye mash bill. Solid pour, but my least favorite among the series.

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Toffee and caramel. Maybe some marshmallow. Sweet. Palate: Strong clove and baking spice. Very strong spice. Finish: Heat fades quickly, but some lingers for a while. Splash: A few drops calm the spiciness, allowing some of the flavors from the nose to return. Overall: 7/10 - This would probably be good on the rocks, but the price makes that a hard sell. Received a sample as a gift.
