Bare Knuckle American Rye Whiskey

Nose is full of hay, grass, dust, and spent rye. The lack of aging is very apparent here. Taste follows suit, with an unpleasant, thin rye bite. Cardboard and kerosene come to mind immediately. Thin, grassy, and quite unpleasant. A complete failure; I doubt significant aging would improve it. In short: "Disgusting" 6/21/19

The aroma offers notes of apricot and other subtle fruits alongside the rye. Sweet, floral, and fruity on the palate, with some toasted notes. Floral notes mingle with dusty rye and hints of aged material. Underwhelming, but not terrible.

Not as bad as some said, but definitely not great. Lacks some of the flavor characteristics found in good ryes.

A hint of fruit on the nose. The flavor is bitter, citrusy, and grassy. There's no burn in the throat. The aftertaste is mild.

A smooth rye with flavors that aren't overpowering.

Citrus notes with a moderate amount of spice and warmth.
