Approximately 5.5 years total (1.5-2 years initial + 3.5 years Kentucky barrel finish)
Rye
Distillery 291
Colorado Springs, CO
61% malted rye, 39% corn
Nose
Kentucky barrel influence evident with traditional bourbon notes; subtle and refined character.
Palate
Super concentrated with bourbon sweetness and oak influence; drinks older than its age with mature, aged oak character more than new oak; surprisingly soft and subtle despite high proof; concentrated rye whiskey expression with added bourbon notes from finish barrels.
Finish
Long, lingering, and impressive with continued complexity that reveals new flavors on extended sipping.
Excellent
An exceptional experimental rye that transcends its proof through a sophisticated Kentucky barrel finish, delivering concentrated flavors with surprising softness and mature character.
