Pinhook Bourbon N Rye

I can't seem to step away from this whiskey. It is extremely refreshing in a world that advocates for smoke, tobacco, and char. This whiskey is in a world of its own. The nose is sweet and perfume forward, yet has a persistent young wood/fruit wood smell. Anyone that has smoked or grilled with an apple/cherry wood will recognize the odor. On the front, there is very unique crisp and lemony sense. With most ryes you have a massive peppery bomb, but this is much more subdued. It has almost an herbiness to the pepper notes. Like a fresh arugula. The finish is my favorite part. It has a cooling, menthol like finish with almost 0 pepper accents. It is very refreshing. This is an amazingly rare whiskey that goes great with any white fish or lighter seafood dish.

Smells herbal and minty. Very floral on the front end. Sweet. The end is less unique than the front. Very obviously a rye. Some will love this. It's like a smoother, thinner (but still creamy) version of some of the hyped ryes out there. 7/21/18

On ice this rye has a nice green apple nose, lovely smooth mouth feel, floral front notes, ending in a subtle anise aftertaste. A young, uncomplicated sipping rye. I like it.
