House Review
-
Intro:
Distilled at MGP and bottled by Smooth Ambler, this single barrel of rye whiskey was aged for 4 years and bottled at barrel proof.
-
Nose:
Baking spice, clove, honey, copper metallic notes and a big hit of spearmint. Rich on the nose, lack of age isn't broadcasted here at all.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, a lot of character. Maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, powerful pepper and clove. Lightly herbal, leaning more spearmint than dill.
-
Finish:
Long finish, most notably the most complex part of the pour. Long finish, packed with dessert notes, clove, spearmint and a whallop of brown butter.
-
Overall:
Honestly, drinking quite nicely. This is probably the youngest MGP rye I've had that has impressed me and I'm a fan. (Barrel #16821)
