Porter’s Small Batch Rye 95 Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright and citrus forward. Detected essences of lemon zest and a hint of bubble gum lingering in the background.
Palate: The first taste, found bold flavors of green apple mixed with a touch citrus. Upon further investigation, there’s a definite rye spice, followed by black pepper, and if I’m not mistaken, a whisper of smoke in the finish. This one comes off as straight forward at the start, but once the senses settle in, the other nuances emerge.
Finish: Spcy finish.
