WhistlePig 15 Year Estate Oak Rye

The lingering taste on the pallet.... can’t quite put my finger on

Nose has a wonderful combo of green apple and thyme. Vanilla. Light strawberry like sweetness. Taste has green apple, vanilla, and oak. Slight tannic character. Faint citrus - like a sweet lemon or lime. Clove and nutmeg punch in, too.

Exceptionally smooth, however the mouth feel isn't quite what I hoped. It's thinner than expected. Otherwise a great one to sip on with a nice cigar.

Super smooth

I think maybe I just don't like Whistlepig? Nose: Floral and grassy with some background vanilla and brown sugar, wood notes coming through as well. Flavor: Sweet and more grassy floral notes, very mild taste for a rye. Finish: Medium length with some barrel spice and oak, a little tobacco and surprisingly not very spicy. I think maybe Whistlepig is kind of boring. Like they're trying to hide the rye spice. Maybe it's just Canadian grains that are kind of mild? Sort of meh.
