Detailed Description
“Made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley; aged in new, charred American oak barrels and finished in Red River bourbon barrels.” Quite a different animal. Nothing but lumberyard up front, touched with notes of mint and an earthier, charred-beef nose. Again, the palate diverges, here running primarily to notes of Bit-O-Honey (or possibly Honeycomb cereal), with secondary roles for lemon and red pepper. The finish is more savory than the palate would let on — again, a plot twist — as more of that barbeque/barrel char note takes hold again. Simpler and less ambitious than the bourbon. 80 proof.
