Journeyman Field Rye

Best've flight but still ungreat.

Very smooth for a rye. Fruity nose, presumably from the figs. Fruit flavors continue on the palate, as well as rye spice notes. Has a full mouthfeel, and minimal heat. A very different and enjoyable rye whiskey.

Odd, but worth a try. Personally it's a favorite. Nose is a bit strong. Pallet is syrupy sweet from the fig. Almost jam like. Tastes like a Manhattan right out of the bottle. But of sour bitters in the finish which leaves a mulled taste in the mouth. It's very different from most whiskeys but worth the try.

Collaboration with Field Museum in Chicago. Sweetener = fig. “Tastes like tea” -McKinley. Too sweet for me to drink a lot of it.
