Tasting Notes: Reunion Straight Rye Whiskey – Single Barrel
Vital Stats: It’s a 100% rye mashbill at 126.94 proof. It’s 5 years old and has an MSRP of $55. It was distilled, aged and bottled in Lenexa, KANSAS.
Appearance: Nice heavy bottle with dark amber bourbon inside.
Nose: Rich butterscotch, dark roses and bubble gum. A little oak on this robust whiskey.
Palate: POW, the first sip has mint and sweet rich spice. Buttery mouth coating feel. A tad bit of oak with a butterscotch and atomic fireball candies mixed. While the sting is spicy,it is still aromatic and beautiful.
Finish: Medium to Long with a nice deep hug.
Overall: Wow, what else can we say, it’s a buy for both of us. This is a fall or winter sipper that should be enjoyed slowly. Craft whiskey at its finest.
Great review. However, Union Horse is in Lenexa, KANSAS.
