WhistlePig 6 Year PiggyBack Rye

🧊

Ethanol and spice on the nose. The rye spice continues on the palate. There’s a little bit of rye “funk” on the rear palate and the finish. Other than that, it’s a solid beginner rye, nothing offensive, nothing noteworthy.

Sweet, spicy, candied apricot. At Tipping Point, MGMAL

Here piggy piggy piggy. Today's senses not as exciting as last weeks, but still getting some odd odors. I smelled some concord grapes on my way to work this morning, which was odd seeing as they've all mostly been picked. It wasn't strong, but it was something more than nothing. Also, I pulled in the sweetness of some pineapple I had for lunch and the pepper on my steak at lunch. A little bit of taste today, not much smell, so tonight, I've decided to pull a dram from my Piggy 6 Rye. Nose: Almost a very very faint caramel mixed with vinegar. It doesn't smell sweet, but I really feel a bit of caramel in there. A note on vinegar, I hate it. I absolutely despise the smell of vinegar. However, this is so faint, it's barely noticeable and doesn't bother me as I gear up for a sip. Taste: almond shell, not the nut itself. woodsy on the sides of the tongue. Very smooth and soft on the mouth feel. Finish: Woodsy, 1 day old cut grass, not in a bad way, almost pleasant. Right after the finish, kind of a sassafras And that's all we have for tonight. Cheers For those lost on my reviews, I lost my taste to Covid in Jan 2020 and have recently started to smell and taste things. However, they're not very accurate, but I enjoy the game. I'm joining in and leaving my reviews and modifying them as my taste and smell hopefully return to normal. My reviews will remain pretty neutral until the full buds show up to the party.
