The trick at cask strength – especially at a number like this one carries – is to find the balance point between the spirit’s inherent heat and the barrel selection. Mission accomplished in a big, bold way here, with aromas and flavors of caramel, vanilla and fall spice that grab rye’s fruited notes and hold them in suspension. This finishes extremely long, and while it’s quite warming, there’s no burn or other offending notes – just purity of flavor and an integrated retronasal impression. Beautifully realized Rye!
