Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Rye (2019 Release)

Easy. Cherry hint

A subtle rye nose with dominant caramel and vanilla tones. Rye touched the palette first, then a long flavor journey begins burying the rye and opening a dark date undertone moving to sweeter marshmallow, some tea leaf oak and baking spice round its long and complex finish. This is excellence in rye.

One of my favorite ryes. Bold oaky, spicy nose. Anise, nutmeg, allspice. Caramel and anise rich palate. Lingers rich and full bodied with spice and candied peppermint. Wish I had bought more last time I saw it.
