Chattanooga Whiskey 99 Rye

Nose is cereal grains, vanilla and fresh hay…more reminiscent of (but still different from) an Irish whisky than any American Rye, Palate is rich and creamy, almost but not quite oily, and bursting with flavors: Vanilla, shortbread, fennel, cardamom, chocolate, dark berries (but not cherries), and sage warmly race up your tongue. The baking shop flavors linger for a good 20 sexonds before the faintest bit of mint pops up and then i finally get my pine trees and black pepper before malted chocolate closes everything out. This is unlike any rye I’ve had before, and I can promise I will have it many more times in the future because it has earned a permanent home in my liquor cabinet. Talley yet another win for Chattanooga Distillery.

Really quite a good rye. More on the bourbon side than a dill side. The malt gives in a chocolate finish. Can definitely tell its a rye but one that bourbon and malt lovers may also enjoy. Does not drink thin whixh i really appreciate . Finish really lingers well in upper chest.

Really fun rye - expected spice and mint/herbal notes paired nicely with cereal/malt that comes out softer and sweeter somehow. Very interesting fruit note. Well rounded and very tasty.
