Tasting Notes

Nose

There’s something earthy and grassy going on that makes me think of hay bales in a field sitting in the summer sun. Also apricots, flowers, and allspice. The overall effect is of a mellow, approachable whiskey.

Palate

Sometimes, high-rye bourbons hit you with spice right away and then melt into bourbon sweetness. Not in this case. The hay smell I noticed earlier presents itself as rye spiciness in the mouth, and it lingers across the palate front to back. It’s not overwhelming, though; just a nice, light spiciness that cuts the vanilla, brown sugar, and honey sweetness you expect from bourbon.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash A pleasant orangey, amber color. Watery legs on the side of the glass
