Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Light-medium amber. Nose: Red apples and pears, with some honey and graham crackers. Palate: Clove and baking spices. Not sweet at all. Finish: Decent length but not overly hot. Splash: No new fñavors are revealed. Overall: 7/10 - This is a good rye for its price, but not as impressive as some other Redwood Empire expressions. A little more time in oak would probably help this quite a bit.
