Whiskey Review: Redwood Empire Rocket Top Batch 2
Whiskey Review is a American whisky. ABV: 100 proof. Age: 5 years. Our expert rating is 8/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Not what I expected from all that rye. Very sweet aroma of cherry, caramel, and dates. All that sweetness isnt cloying though, it is balanced by something herbaceous that I honestly cant place and a solid backbone of baking spices.
Palate
Rich, creamy mouthfeel delivers caramel corn and the cinnamon from the nose. That earthy, ground cinnamon note is perceptible from beginning to end of the Rocket Top experience. The sweetness of the first impression fades into tannic dried fruit and lands on big vanilla and oak for the finish which fades slowly with the omnipresent rye spice.
Finish
Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Aged 5 years, 100 proof, $90 MSRP This looks very nice in a glencairn. Clean caramel coloring with a soft orange hue, and light but noticeable viscosity
