Intro:
This WhistlePig is sourced Alberta rye that is bottled from a single barrel and at cask strength.
-
Nose:
Big clove, definitely Alberta, wintergreen. Cinnamon, brown sugar, fruitiness.
-
Taste:
Thick and rich. Some heat. Sweet wintergreen, brown sugar, cinnamon, fruity Alberta notes. Some molasses and astringency. Huge and abrasively rich rye.
-
Finish:
Long, some heat. Sweet, some anise and a lot of minty notes here. Not MGP dill mint notes - more wintergreen minty. Its just mint all over the place coupled with anise.
-
Overall:
Huge, delicious, rich. I really like it although the minty notes are very heavy handed here. If that was more balanced with the brown sugar and rye spice this would have scored higher. I definitely liked the KL barrel I had earlier in the year but this is no slouch either.
