WhistlePig 15 Year Estate Oak Rye

Super buttery on the nose, medium sweet on the palate, medium BUT smooth baking spice in the finish.

Aroma is much sweeter than expected. Brown Sugar and caramel, but with a distinct Rye note on the back. Slightly herbaceous. Not as much oak influence as the 12 for me. Ahh, the Aroma hinted. The flavor is very herbaceous with dill & mint with notes of tobacco. Light vanilla. Drops of water bring more tobacco up front. In fact, reminds me of the brief period where I chewed a little tobacco. (Beechnut) The water actually brings more vanilla out as well. More minty as it continues to bloom.

Burst of cinnamon and citrus flavors yet so smooth. There is value in this dram.
