Pikesville Straight Rye

On the nose, it’s spicy. I have a hard time distinguishing between oak spice and rye spice, and I do believe I get both. The palate is more like a high rye bourbon. I found out later that it’s 51% rye, which makes a ton of sense. Cinnamon apple, nutmeg, paprika, and some anise. Oak and Christmas cookie on the finish. This is damn fine.

Absolutely delicious. Perfect, lasting rye spice on the tongue. Drinks much smoother than the proof. Tastes better with each pour.

Nice spice, vanilla and caramel. Good heat at 110, but still smooth.

Nose: Herbal Baking spices Significant Brown sugar Molasses Palate: Nice kick on front end Classic rye notes Finish: Long finish Very well balanced Sweetness at the end This a great rye at the price. Does not necessarily bite like a 110 proof. Definitely recommend.

Hot due to the high proof. Good mouth feel. I think there's some scotch flavors in there. But sweet finishes it up.
