Capsule review from Virginia Spirits Expo: Honey finishes are all the rage right now, but Catoctin says this is the Original Hot Honey Rye. A combination of three Virginia honey and an infusion of chili peppers is used to create this finished whiskey. Honey is all over the nose, palate, but the finish is where the peppers come in. It's less like a spicy hot wing and more like a Nashville hot chicken- a nice peppery but not firey finish. While this is certainly something different- it's not exactly a regular sipper for me.
