Spirit Works Straight Rye Whiskey

Starts nicely with notes of honey and vanilla, heats up quickly then all the flavors follow. Grape/banana/baking spice, apricot, raisin. Flavors fade away to a sharp dry woodyness. This is where the oak lives. Wood lingers in the dry aftertaste for a short time b4 fading into a dry mouth begging for another drink. I got this bottle on clearance for $25 worth way more in my opinion.

Smells like potpourri and green apples. Reminds me of a high end candle I wouldn’t buy but don’t mind as a background aroma. The taste is similar, like baked apples with nutmeg, cedar, honey, and toasted coconut. It’s pretty strong.

Mild sweet taste, weird spice taste, pickles? Warm, light

Slight spice and green apple

Syrupy and grassy on the nose. Taste is overwhelmingly wheaty with a hint of floral. Slight fire in the mouth that subsides into the belly. Aftertaste is mild and sightly bitter.
