The Clover Single Barrel Rye (750ml)

Vital Stats: 45.5% ABV, 91 proof. Sourced straight rye whiskey from Indiana. Aged for a minimum of four years. 750ml $50. Appearance: Chestnut with glints of mahogany. Nose: Pungent and bright black cherry greets the nostrils right off the bat. Dill and spearmint offer a refreshing herbaceous quality to the dram. The orange peel comes through the middle. Some oak and leather round out the end. Palate: The whiskey is a bit tannic and harsh with a touch of acetone. Once further into it, the cherry and orange peel mingle with honey. However, it is not as fruity on the palate as it is on the nose. The whiskey is spicy with black peppercorns than baking spices. The finish is filled with tobacco and leather. Overall, the dram reminds me of marbled rye bread. -https://thewhiskeywash.com - 3.5/5 points
