The Prideful Goat 6 Year Cask Strength Rye

Thank you Josh!

Caramel, burnt sugar, oak, rye spice. A powerful and spicy rye.

Nice balance of sweet and spicy (more spice than sweet for sure). Citrus, anise seeds, rye, cinnamon, pepper.

I’ve heard the 15 year bourbon was fabulous and kept seeing this in the shelf for about $55. I like ryes and thought, what the heck, let’s give this a try. The nose is quite enjoyable. A ton of spice with citrus and heat. You can tell upfront this is a high proof rye but it isn’t super overpowering. Some of the nose is sweet, like an orange citrus candy. The palate is really good. A great mouthfeel that coats in caramel and spice with a touch of heat. This really coats everything and goes perfect into the finish. So far the mouthfeel and palate are my favorite. The finish has a toffee note that combines with the continued citrus flavor. The finish doesn’t fade for quite sometime. The very end has a touch of pepper with the citrus notes. Overall, this is pretty good. I enjoy this bottle and happy I was able to try it. Would I buy it again, I’m not too sure. $55 isn’t a bad price but I do like other ryes better. I’m happy to try this bottle and even tested it as an old fashioned. Does really well!

Spicy with not much sweetness (probably from the 95/5 mashbill). A bit of a bummer as I was excited about this brand, but in a blind tasting it came in 3rd of 3 up against Alberta Premium and Templeton 6 year).
