Journeyman Distillery Last Feather Organic Rye

Extremely smooth, light Smokey finish, very drinkable

Nothing has smelled more like a freshly mowed, recently rained yard than this whiskey. It even goes a bit deeper to resemble wet earth, but I dig it, pun intended, as always. The initial taste is not as powerful as I had thought it would be (although I don't know why I had thought that), but the rye flavor is very obvious and up front. The ever so popular sweetness does develop over time, but it does take a while and certainly doesn't have a "bourbon feeling" to it. It is a little bit underwhelming, and would benefit from more age, as most ryes would.

Really stiff and spicy, which mainly means I don't want it too often, but real tasty

Delicious front with a strong alcohol finish when neat. All the flavor, none of the burn with ice.
