Pikesville Straight Rye

Wow... Beautiful nose of baking spices, cherries and notes of brown sugar and vanilla. Sweet notes on the pallet, slightly oily coating that spreads the flavor around the mouth. Vanilla cherry, and bread pudding ends with rye spice tingling on the tongue and slight heat on a fairly long finish. The finish lasts for a deliciously pleasing time ending with an oak leather ending. Fantastic.

Want to start by saying that I’m just not a fan of Ryes....did this convert me? No but there are enjoyable parts that will make me not automatically turn away from Ryes Really nice and pleasant nose so get a nice rye spice smell with some earthy-ness. Palate is really clean and brings the same earthy-ness and spice from the nose. A little burn that may be off putting to a non-rye seasoned taster. Do get some sweetness which was unexpected and enjoyable Finish - nice finish that stings a little bit on the sides of your tongue but and is medium in length

Full, sweet, spicy and subtle vanilla.

Sweet, dry and spicy, I’m in!! Enjoyed this one. Honey and cloves and a nice finish the lingers. I’ll be looking for a bottle of my own to put on my bar.

That good good smoke.
