| TASTING NOTE: Nose: Firm, unambiguous rye with minimum yield and complexity. Taste: Much juicier, showing little oak interference. Almost candy-like in its sugar and spice qualities. Finish: Again the rye dominates with minimal restraint but at least offers several paths, the longest being slightly dry with butterscotch off-shoots. Balance: Rye perhaps at its least complicated. But horny stuff, nonetheless. Brilliant. Score: 91 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2010) |
