Vital Stats: Blend of Straight Rye Whiskeys ranging from 2 to 9 years. Mash bill of 95% rye and 5% barley malt from MGP. Mash bill of 80% rye and 20% malted rye from High West Distillery. White American oak barrels. 46% ABV (92 Proof). $35/750mL. Park City, Utah.
Appearance: Burnt sienna
Nose: The whiskey has a weak nose, I honestly didn’t get a lot from it even after letting it breathe. Very faint notes of cinnamon came through, along with a bit of a cut-stem scent.
Palate: There is a strangely diluted taste to this whiskey. With the boast of “the spiciest rye” I can categorically say there simply isn’t enough to deliver. There are some aromatic compounds within the expression, a bit of honeysuckle sweetness.
