Lost Republic Rye

Nice and spicy, so far my favorite rye.

Great traditional rye. Tastes quite similar to Peerless Rye which I’m a big fan of

Nose: Smells like a bourbon initially, vanilla, toffee and butterscotch candy, a little dried apple. Palate: Warm but not as sweet as it smells. Good heat that dissipates quickly with nice caraway notes. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Balanced and not overly complicated. Would make good cocktails. Finish: Long, slightly bitter, more caraway, rye bread.

Above-average rye. Pleasant spiciness and a mild sweetness. Has a slight sugar-cookie finish.
