Whistlepig 10 Year Small Batch Rye

Good rye vanilla notes with sometimes a punch of peach jam. Some herbal typical rye notes in nose. Strength is in the way it’s all balanced so well. Very enjoyable

Carmel, nutmeg, sweet, full rye flavor.

Rye just isn’t for me. Tastes sour.

This rye whiskey had a copper color with thicker oily legs. The nose was overall sweet and sour with notes of peach, pear, red apple, honey, strawberry Twizzler, dusty corn, sweet tarts, and a note I can unfortunately only describe as gym sweat. The palate had a velvety mouthfeel, with notes of blue cheese, green apple, red grape, citrus, cinnamon, and rye spiciness. The finish was medium length with a pineapple and grape skin aftertaste. Rye is a whiskey category that I am finding is quite diverse. This particular rye was very different from others I’ve had but so good! I had this one when my fellow distillers and I had a night out at a whiskey bar after work, and I would definitely recommend! Whistlepig, thanks! Cheers!
