Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This Rye comes from a certain distillery in Southern Indiana, but is bottled at barrel-strength by Bardstown Barrel Selections in Kentucky (and truth be told, one could probably hit a golf ball from that distillery across the Ohio River into Kentucky, making it about as close to a Kentucky Rye as possible).
The nose is aromatic and intense with toasted oak, campfire smoke, leather, honey, clove, nutmeg, and a hint of freshly-roasted coffee beans. The taste has a thick and chewy mouthfeel with strong cinnamon, chili powder, and clove notes that dominate the palate at first, then start fading slowly to reveal honey, brown sugar, cocoa, and a hint of campfire smoke that lingers through the dry finish, along with the fading spices and a hint of caramel candy.
