Whip Saw Rye

A nice surprise with Whip Saw. My wife bought me this, which is always fun because she chooses whiskey strictly based on the bottle its in. This was pretty good. You can definitely taste the wine influence here, and a nice soft oak. Its slightly dry with fruit notes. I would but this again.

Up there wkth whistle pig. Vanilla smooths jt out very well. Nice bite at the end.

Tasted three whiskies from Savage & Cooke and three from the Splinter Group last night. These are my quick take impressions. 6 of 6 Oily and slightly viscous, semisweet, caramel, vanilla, barrel char, baking spices, bit of glue, dig deep to get grapes, light sweeties candy appears on the nose late. Splinter Group ftw overall.

Very nice finished whiskey, I love a spicy eye and this is definitely on the sweeter side due to the wine cask finishes, but not overwhelmingly so. This is what Basil Hayden dark rye wishes it could be

Nice, solid and drinkable Rye whiskey
