291 All Rye Batch 1
132.6 proof
NAS
Rye
291 Distillery
100% malt rye (blend of Rootshoot Colorado malt and Wireman German malt)
Nose
Buttery with earthy spicy rye notes; lacks aggressiveness despite high proof.
Palate
Silky smooth and creamy with orange note between teeth in middle of tongue; heavy liqueur-like texture; grain sweetness rather than sugary; well-balanced and easy to drink despite 132+ proof; not very spicy for a rye.
Finish
Smooth finish without drying sensation; maintains balance across the palate.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
An unexpectedly approachable high-proof 100% malted rye that drinks far lighter than its proof suggests, with a silky texture and balanced grain-forward sweetness.
