Peerless Toasted Rye

PROS: FULL of flavor in both the nose, and on the palette. Tons of vanilla on both - lots of Rye spice, which can be good or bad depending on my mood. But this is one of the most flavorful pours I have ever had. CONS: A little bit of an ethanol taste lingers on the finish, and some sips can be a *little* too spicy with the Rye.

I went to Peerless 2 years ago and was amazed by their Toasted Oak Bourbon. I haven’t had rhe chance to but a bottle until now for a Rye Tasting and this bottle came up at the top of 5 other bottles. Amazing flavors and complexity. On the nose: dark chocolate, caramel and pine trees. On the palate: charred oak, brown sugar and cinnamon. Finish: pepper and herbal sweetness, floral All the different parts of this experience were very good offering different flavors and profiles. Extremely good overall. An expensive bottle that is worth buying! Cheers!
