Old Forester Rye

Charred full and earthy. Smokey sweet. My was a store pick so could be different than the normal.

Overall, exceptional budget rye. I like this better in an old fashioned than Rittenhouse. Nose is bright and citrusy with a hint of yeast funk from the abnormally high barley in the mashbill. Mouth feel is decent. Spicy upfront, then sweet. Really bright notes of baking spice, lemon. Nothing at all mellowed about this but it's not offensive. Finish is good with a nice Kentucky hug.

Great value

A bit unusual, but really tasty. Like the spice from start to finish.
