Detailed Description
This new rye is made from a sweet mash, according to a letter from the distillery, consisting of 65% rye, 25% corn, and 10% malt. It was then aged for 15 months in a 30-gallon, #3-char barrel and bottled at 90 proof.
Stoll & Wolfe Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The first sniff hits the nose like a surprisingly earthy wave that’s heavy on rye and oak with notes of clove, ginger, and citrus giving it additional zest. That mellows down into a sweeter bouquet caramel, orange, and a hint of spices.
Palate: The first sip eases onto the tongue with a faint twinge of smoke and spices, specifically rye. That rye twinge grows stronger as it sits on the tongue – skewing the flavor a bit toward an earthy caramel with a bit of cinnamon – but never building to an overwhelming degree. Swallowing strips that flavor profile down to a bare, yet slightly sweet rye flavor with a slight tingle in front of the mouth.
Finish: A sweet caramel aftertaste in the mouth alongside a faint hum of spicy rye.
