Scarlet Shade 14 Year Rye Whiskey

smooth, Rush, true light spice, l butter cream, toasted banana bread, black berry

I really love this one. Smooth, deep, nice balance of sweet and spicy. I get some maple, rye, anise and mint. In some ways, not a lot stands out about this whiskey, but it's an easy, comfortable drink.

Rich, smooth, sweet, maple and brown sugar, would rate higher bit needs more proof, not as good as orphan barrel but still a great pour

Typical rye flavors. Anise, baking spices, mint.

Remarkable depth on the nose, with bright and crisp high rye notes imbued with a rock solid woody goodness. Excellent mouthfeel and exemplary flavor profile. Round, smooth, spicy, char forward and intensely flavor-packed. As the taste settles in, more rye notes become apparent, leaving no doubt as to what the mash bill contained. A long, long finish with prickly spice leaving a final warming adieu. For rye fans, look no further. This is the one for 2023.

Did I just eat a pickle? Rye and oak as well but wow
