Review is for a $50 bottle of SAOS SiB Rye 4 Year age statement and 114.8 Proof. Neck pour, tasted neat in Glencairn, and rested 10 minutes. Nose has a dose of ethanol heat but not over bearing for the proof. Getting past the heat a bright scent of sweet vanilla with hints of orange zest emerge that is underpinned by wafts of wet oak. On the palate an initial burst of sweet vanilla with a somewhat creamy mouthfeel, that shifts into tingling spicy heat and then further evolves to show mint and clove menthol like notes. Finally as the medium to long spicy finish begins to give way, slight heat and spice lingers, with a faint touch of dark cocoa powdered oak showing ever so slightly as it all fades away. Delicious MGP sourced rye.
