Straight Rye Whisky

Category: Straight Rye Whisky

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
Dark amber color. Herbal aromas and flavors of lemongrass, lavender, basil, fresh mint, and hint of pineapple with a silky, vibrant, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, intriguing, medium-long finish that shows suggestions of chocolate gelato and black pepper. A solid Rye Whiskey with a pretty melange of herbal aromas; a lovely cocktail option.
