Uncle Nearest Single Barrel Rye

This is remarkable considering the grain bill is comprised exclusively of rye. It is indeed full of spice, but there is almost a nuttiness and chewiness that comes through more so than the barrel character. A fairly heavy mouthfeel makes you take a moment to reflect on the gift of distilling and just how skilled master distiller Victoria Eady Butler is at her craft. Of the three releases last year, this just may be their best. Despite the high proof (121 ABV), it goes down exceptionally smoothly. A nice long finish adds the final touch with a mischevious cooling sensation. Keep them coming Ms. Butler!
