Review #356
Received a sample from a friend.
129.9 proof
Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes.
Color: Medium amber.
Nose: Mint, baking spice, caramel.
Palate: Cinnamon, clove, oak tannins.
Finish: Long length with a lot of heat.
Splash: A mild mint note appears.
Overall: 9/10 - This is a big, bold spicy rye with thick mouthfeel and a good deal of complexity. I wish I had more to side by side with other barrel proof ryes.
