Wild Buck American Rye Whiskey

Rich brown color. Honey, spicy with a bit of leather and vanilla on the nose. Very pleasant spicy leather flavor. Nice long finish. I saw other reviewers comment that the finish was very short. I think they've solved that problem . I tend to prefer ryes with 100% rye mash bill. Certainly, the best whiskey I've tried coming out of Florida.

I am currently visiting my son and family in Florida and we regularly taste and critique whiskeys. He brought out a half full bottle (the best part) and we gave it a go. I have to say I was not expecting much from a rye produced in Florida. Citrus and rye prices happily greet me on the nose, it's delightful. As I sniff a while it holds up well but there's not much else below there and that's ok. Taste is true and my mouth is full of flavor. It's a bit thin and I agree with others that the finish is ultra short.
