I’ll confess – I much prefer Rye when it comes to American Whiskey. There’s a clean character that stays bright and fresh if Whiskey can carry such descriptors. This flamethrower shows real purity on the nose, with lively rooty spice and just a hint of the blast that’s coming. The sip brings the blast in spades, but the finish leaves just a pleasant heat under the radiant spice. Lots of character here – all the way through the shrinking of the ice cube.
