Tap Rye (Port Finished)
42% ABV Does not specify where it is bottled so we can assume it is bottled in Canada then imported by Van Gogh Imports, Kentucky. This is a blend of rye whisky aged up to 8 years and is sourced.
Aroma: maple, butterscotch, caramel
Taste: not as sweet as it smells, some spice to it, minor brandy/fruity notes, not getting any port in this, over time it diminishes and an odd Canadian whisky note appears mildly. Medium body. Uses black synthetic cork which is unique.
Cost: 36.95 plus tax (overpriced)
Grade: C/C+
Note: Tap 8 Rye (Sherry finished) is not on distiller.com yet. I also tried this and it cost 3 bucks more and was a high average (C+). This one actually had an age statement of 8 years and was 41.5 abv. I expected better from both this and the port finished variety. I tried these around January/February of 2021.
