Thistle Finch Straight Rye Whiskey

Rye — Pennsylvania, USA

Reviewed February 27, 2021 (edited March 17, 2021)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
Bath #12. First off, I love the idea of local sourced grain. Small batch should mean small and that's the flavor you get with this Bird. With a mash bill of 60% rye, 30% wheat, and 10% malted barley and distilled in copper pot stills.. we are delighted with a smooth well made dram. Cranberry, leather and cigar box on the nose, rye on the tip of the tongue, wheat and an all spice finish with an oak note lingering. My favorite part is definitely the nose. Raisins and cranberries stand out and for a rye it's on the lighter spicy side of the spectrum, but definitely present. Creamy mouth feel makes it well worth the price. This whisky is worth seeking out! If you can find it.. I'd recommend trying Studio Bourbon out of Minnesota if one enjoyed this taste profile..
