High West Double Rye

Batch 18I18 Nose is softly fragrant of rye spice and freshly baked sugar cookies, with a floral element of honeysuckle. Rye spice and anise dominate the palate, which to me create an unpleasant herbal medicine taste. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with just a little alcohol burn. Finish is long and warm, but dominated by the herbal/anise quality. I don't get much sweetness on this except on the nose. The anise taste puts me off sipping this neat, but it works well as a mixer.

Nose: Rye, Floral, Honey, Oak Taste: Carmel, Honey, Rye Spice, Leathery

interesting spice but a tad astringent

heavy spice on front end. lingering flavors of clove, cinnamon, and wood with a slight fruity undertone. very oily mouthfeel which may contribute to the length of the flavor.
