High West Double Rye

It did not hit me until my second glass of Double Rye, but no wonder I adore it. Nose is molasses followed by more molasses. This doesn't necessarily come through when drinking but all the elements are there - nutmeg, clove, cinnamon - like one of those windmill cookies. Did I mention I love molasses AND those windmill cookies? The most amazing part is how the alcohol has so little heat at the end, leaving only the spice elements. Still coats the mouth perfectly as it lingers on (and on). Amazingness for well under $40 a bottle. oh and there is some orange zest just in case you needed more.
