Very Olde St. Nick Cask Strength Harvest Rye Whiskey

Greentown find. Opened on Christmas. Better nose and taste with a few drops of water. Dry, bitter finish.

Nose- Mild oak and vanilla. Palette- Initial burn of cinnamon, then flows into vanilla and some green apple tartness. Hint of cherry as well. Finish- long finish of oaky vanilla. The cherry hint at the start is more prominent at the finish. Overall- Not for feint of heart. At 118.1 proof this hits heavy at the start with a burn that will warm you on a crisp fall night. The overall flavors pair well with fall. For the price tag I would have liked more complexity and flavor profiles. A good cask strength offering.

Decent

Very vanilla sweet nose. Taste is very earthy. Sweet and medium finish. Second pour, licking up kit eod the grain and green apple notes. Lingers a little longer. Good but a tough price tag
