Straight Rye Whiskey

Category: Straight Rye Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of black pepper, caramel, play doh, and beeswax candles with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-length finish displaying notes of pepper and green modeling clay, orange peel and rock candy, pineapple core, and honey bun. A rock solid youthful Rye Whiskey; very enjoyable neat but would make a killer Manhattan.
