Reviewed March 14, 2021 (edited April 13, 2021)So torn about this. It’s a very high quality rye and a rye purist’s rye. Nose is light, perfume, and mint. It’s clean and fresh with some hint of raw cane sugar. Palate has a medium mouthfeel with rye, rye, RYE. Arrival is sweet mint with a hint of baking spice. Development absolutely overwhelms the senses with hot pepper heat. For me, it’s a one dimensional kick you in the face spice that just isn’t my favorite in a rye. If you like spicy food or are interested in what a pure rye mashbill tastes like, then give it a try as this is a well crafted example. Finish is slightly bitter and sour with a hint of oak that fades quickly. Personally, I recommend the Willet Family Estate Rye instead as a bit more to explore on the nose and palate. -
