Pinhook "Bourbon-N-Rye" Straight Rye Whiskey

Nose is sweet: perfume aroma, apple/cherry wood, lemon rind. Taste: herbal, minty, and floral on the palette. Crisp. Green apples, lemon, herbs, arugula, allspice, nutmeg, esters, and of course woody. Easy to drink, sweet, and florescent.

Like a fresh cut lawn. My buddies and I did a tasting of ryes, to include EHT, WFE, and this one definitely held its own. It was just so different from the rest. It’s definitely in my rotation of ryes for when I want some different.

Fresh mown hay and grass, green Apple, chamomile flowers, clove spice. This MGP-sourced 95/5% Rye/barley juice has been aged just enough to soften a bit, while retaining its major rye spice and herbaceous taste. A drop or two of mineral water brings it alive. It’s VERY different—a Canadian Whiskey or Scotch drinker’s Rye—but a limited availability treat at a great price. Worth seeking out!
