Taster

Nose: Unusual for a whisky. Very sweet. Treacle, maple syrup. Reminiscent of a rum orange liquor. Orange peel.

Palate: Sweet and liqueur like! There is obviously added sugar. The same molasses, treacle, sugary notes as in some rum. Caramel. Creamy, vanilla custard.

Finish: Sweet and cloying. And short.

Comment: I would never have guessed it was a rye whiskey! Where is the spicy crispiness of the rye?

Score: 7

Taster

Nose: Bagfuls of sweetness, fudge, tablet, maple syrup covered pancakes. There\ris a zip of citrus freshness then a chilli kick. Decent oak grip too.

Palate: The sweetness continues as does the oak grip bringing a creamy custard note, vanilla Danish. Hints of cherry tobacco, dark treacle.

Finish: Sweet with a dusty dryness.

Comment: An interesting and unusual rye, but well worth a look.

Score: 8
