This was a blind tasting of Whistlepig 10 year rye. I was surprised by this one. It was a gold straw color in the glass so I assumed it was a lower proof young whiskey. The nose had a very light floral note, but not much else. It comes to life on your tongue, and you know It's a spicy rye. It starts off smokey with just the faintest fruity taste. I get some mild dark chocolate flavor too. Then you get a big peppery, cinnamon blast that hangs on for a while.There is a little sweetness, but it's the rye spice that dominates here. I wouldn't mind having a few more pours of this one.
