Willett Family Estate Small Batch Rye 4 Year

I'm not big on rye, but it still had some nice flavor

Aromas are spice, caramel, pumpernickel. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet with a little burn at the end and on the lips. Some Band-Aids in there too.

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Minty and medicinal. Not sweet at all. Palate: Spicy and vegetal. Clove and baking spices and some peppery notes. Finish: Medium heat but very long. Splash: With the spicier notes muted, a very vegetal note comes through. It reminds me of asparagus, but in a good way. Overall: 7.5/10 - This isn't the Willet that people chase. This is their entry-level rye and it could be an example of what sets them apart from other ryes. It's different but I'm not sure I'd want to drink it every day.

Herbal, hot, back of mouth, tasty. Maybe a little too liquourice
