Had a couple of pours of this at a restaurant/pub tonight on the company dime. First time trying a WP product. I gotta say it was pretty damn good.
This is a 100% rye aged in new American oak and finished in used bourbon barrels. It’s bottled at 50% ABV. This tasting was a neat pour in a rocks glass.
The nose was sweet and spicy. Hard to get much more out of it but there was almost no alcohol burn. The palate was light caramel, honey, and baking spices. The finish was fairly long with lots of rye spice and oak char. There was a faint hint of dill in the finish long after the sip. Very easy drinking for 100 proof.
This bottle can be had for $65 online. Based on this tasting I’d say that’s reasonable, but I wouldn’t pay much more. I might have to think about getting a bottle of this one of these days. 4/5. Cheers!
