Whistlepig 10 Year Small Batch Rye

Nose- very light and sweet. Little alcohol noticeable. Sweet initial flavor, followed by rye spice. Finish is spicy and medium long lasting. Good but overpriced.

Great stuff, but not worth the price tag. You could get two High West Double Rye for this price

Very good start to finish. While I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite it’s a really good/solid bourbon.

Blind taste test - bought 50 mL bottles at Total Wine in Grand Rapids with Kyle. Color is a more medium amber. Smell is of dark, sweet licorice and rye. First sip lights up the sinuses - very peppery with a hint of sweetness undercutting it. Not too much ethanol heat, but the rye spice burn is strong and lingers - almost like eating a hot Buffalo wing! Very interesting and unique - can’t decide if I like it or not haha. Upon reveal, the mint and cardamom come through as well, but quite overpowered by the rye spice!

Definitely spicy. The finish lingers with the same spice along with oak and pine needles.
