There is a lot to like about Rossville Union 2022 Barrel Proof on paper. At 58.6% ABV) and $69.99, let us see if it lives up to expectations.
Nose
I enjoy a good barrel proof whiskey, and when I dont immediately reach for a few drops of water to tame the heat, color me impressed. Rossville Unions annual release is slightly sweet, balanced, and of great quality for its modest price.rnrn
Palate

Finish
I was shocked at how much peach I got out of the first taste. Ive never experienced such a pronounced essence in a rye. Accompanying the peach, I got tobacco and vanilla. The whiskey starts with a harsh mouthfeel, but quickly mellows into a smooth rye finish.
The Bottom Line
Rossville Union 2022 Barrel Proof delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and at $69.99 represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
