Leopold Bros. Maryland-Style Rye

Certainly a unique rye. Tried the single barrel from argonaut, and i swear to you, im drinking and smelling oolong tea when i drink this. Feels like it could use more barrel time for my palette but definitely unique.

Harsh

Aroma is an overwhelming delivery of that standard craft raw-wood-saw-dust-wet-cardboard profile that I can’t stand and it’s accompanied by more raw and stale profiles; Palate is pretty much the same, though somehow less complex with an even heavier delivery of that craft note; Finish is just more of the same.

Very subtle complex nose: Fruit and grain with pancake. The sip is soft and grainy with almost no spice commonly associated with rye. It expands slightly with a fruity warmth that lingers at the end.

Vanilla. Spice.

A bit herbal. Minty tingle on the finish.
