WhistlePig FarmStock Rye Crop No. 003

Mello and some spice and smooth but overall a muted flavor.

Smooth

Mellow, good legs, oak, mild spice, strong rye after taste

On the nose sort of subtle; citrus, rye, mint, kiwi, caramel, pear and hay. Palate: almost no spice, there’s caramel, some citrus peel, obviously rye, hay, and faint black pepper. At the finish the dominant sweetness fades to soft and short peppery spiciness. Overall it’s good, and very smooth, but it isn’t great. It just isn’t deep enough. That said, I’ll definitely enjoy having it around.

First sip: Hay for sure. Faint beer essence- yeasty. Fruity notes on the finish. Really smooth. With water: peanut notes. Gets sweeter, but surprisingly more spicy. Finish: long “Farmstock” seems fitting- it tastes outdoorsy. Not my favorite WhistlePig, but is there a bad WhistlePig? Nope. Happy I tried it, don’t need a bottle.

Smells hotter than it is. It's quite smooth. I got zero smoke, zero apples, cherry or any of the other things I've read. Could be that my palate is wrecked but it's just a smooth sipper and one of the more enjoyable whistlepigs I've had.

Farmstock Batch. Spice and sweet. Long finish. Rocks glass. Neat.
