Stalk & Barrel Rye Cask #17

Sweet on the nose, but quickly attacks the palette with spice that lingers through the finish. Notes of brown sugar play with the heat to create a complex sweet and spicy dance in my mouth. A few drops of water tempers the inferno, and brings out a subtle ash to the palette.

Cask No. 77

This eating may be unfair as I don't like rye whiskies. I wanted to know that I tried this one.

Awfully close to their red blend however it has a chalky, dusty, leathery thing going on that the red blend doesn't. They both share the same extreme sweet peppery note, and the vanilla but the 100% rye is more intense, more floral, dryer and definitely less sweet. Red blend is also much creamier and sweeter on the nose more like an Irish whiskey. At the extreme end S&B rye tastes almost like a dusty rye infused almond extract...Ya theres definitely more rye spice here. A very interesting one, and like the red blend it's so different I barely know how to score it...Considering the price I suggest trying out the red blend first and if you like the distinctly vanilla/peppery rye, you'll really enjoy this.
