Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye (2023 Release)

Toasted marshmallows, sweet grass

Warming spice to start, salted caramel, vanilla , moderate oakiness, dashes of drier hay notes, then some more familiar rye notes with fennel, herbality, black pepper and baking spice kick in. Someone had mentioned a kettlecorn kind of note thay i do pick up 3/4 of the way through the drink. The finish is medium to long with a moderate rye spice and warm, soothing and invigorating feeling on a cold day outdoors. Fantastic rye!!!

9.5/10 Marshmallows, rasins, cinnamon

Wow! Nose starts off with a rich buttery caramel and comes over on the palate the same but with a bit of sweetness. Finish turns with a bit of wonderful spice. A bit complex and now one of my favorites.

Nose: black cherry, brown sugar, vanulla. Smells like a bourbon. Feint oak and pepper at the end Palate: thick and creamy mouthfeel. Rye spice on the front, bright fruit and oaky/dark chocolate bitterness. Finish: tons of pepper and oak. Drier and more tannic than i expected but in a very young 8 on the t8ke scale
