Whitmeyer's Bourbon & Rye

American Blended Whiskey — Houston, USA

Reviewed March 26, 2021 (edited September 14, 2021)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Single Barrel Section for Fiesta Liquor, C32, 106 proof. Sourced MGP Rye and KY Bourbon with some Texas distilled and aged bourbon. Lovely color. Very nice and sweet nose, with a slight punch of ethanol. Strong brown sugar and vanilla, and the tiniest bit of pepper. Smells reminiscent of a high rye bourbon, something like a 4R 100 proof SiB, but missing some of the depth/age. Very nice mouth feel (thanks, NCF) with a coating hit of caramel that lingers for a really nice long time allowing you to appreciate it. Then, the rye takes over, with the pepper, rye bread spice, and sweet sour apples. Finish is dominated by the rye portion, and I would appreciate more oak and bourbon in the finish, but it lingers a relatively long time with that same sour apple and rye heat. Drinks a little hotter than the reported 106. Overall, a very nice offering from a local brand. I keep coming back to the comparison between this and 4R 100 proof SiB. And that is huge compliment for a young distillery in Houston. Still missing the oak-y finish, but highlights some of the younger rye spices better. The price even, right around $40, is also similar to the 4R comparison. This also drinks a little hot, but is higher proof and NCF as compared to 4R 100 proof SiB. This is nice, and will likely rotate in and out of my collection as long as I can get it. Won't blow your mind, but is damn good. I look forward to trying other batches. The blend works well together and takes you on a great varied flavor tour. Hats off to Travis Whitmeyer.
