Aroma: Floral notes, reminiscent of freshly picked flowers. Palate: Natural Honey was the most prominent note, with undertones of earthy spices. Finish: Long and smooth, comparable to the Single Barrel Rye. Overall: The distinct difference from the standard single barrel select is impressive. I'd recommend picking this one up if you visit the Old Pepper Distillery!

About this bottle
This limited edition Old Pepper straight rye, made from a 100% rye mash bill, was initially aged for at least 4 years in new, charred American oak. It then undergoes a secondary maturation in new toasted oak barrels. The whiskey is presented at barrel proof, with the exact proof varying by batch.

A spicy, minty taste emerges on the tongue, followed by a robust conclusion that softens. Quite pleasant.
Better than the single barrel offering.
An intriguing rye that is spicy.
