Copper Pony Rye Whiskey

Smell: Sharp with a syrupy sweetness reminiscent of molasses. Feel: The molasses and damp cardboard persist. Aftertaste: The wet paper notes are prominent here. Commentary: This expression offers a singular experience, but it's not terrible. It's generally agreeable to consume, and despite being quite basic and one-dimensional, it's acceptable for a rye aged for "at least six months."

The bottle indicates six months of aging, and it's evident. Very fiery and still carries a strong resemblance to moonshine rather than an aged product. The rye flavor is present but is quickly overwhelmed by the moonshine quality.

The aroma is leather initially. Wood and tart apples. The flavor is more wood but less leather. Significant burn on the tongue. The flavors fade with a bit of vanilla and more wood.

Quite unremarkable. Nothing stands out about this one. I wouldn't seek it out, but I'd consume it if it was the only option available.

The aroma isn't great, with a hint of fruitiness. It's light, sweet, and leaves a slight warmth. Surprisingly not bad. Lacks significant depth, but possesses some pleasant notes.

It's a very low-quality Rye, not to my taste. It has a strong alcohol presence but lacks significant flavor or complexity beyond that.
