Cascade Moon 13 Year Rye

Excellent, smooth and flavorful. Lots of complexity here that exceeds my ability to describe. One of the best I have had! Yum! Rock’n Dough has good stuff.

Nose: Sweet and fruity, minor ethanol Palette: Extremely oily, dried apricot, vanilla, dark chocolate Finish: oak, banana, chocolate Really enjoyable drink! Would share with friends that may not love rye as much. I think this one is really inviting.

The nose effuses fresh baked rye bread married to a sweet, yet char driven element. Wonderfully evocative and luscious. On the tongue, the spirit is sweeter than expectations, giving notes of toffee, vanilla and caramel creams all patinaed by a slight burnt toast edge. The bitterness of the grain and the barrel keeps the focus on the peppery rye. Rye whiskey is always a treat, but when it deleivers as well as this one does, it becomes an experience. Grab a bottle if you can.
