Rye
Distillery 291
$149.99
59% malted rye, 29% wheat, 9% corn, 3% malted barley
Nose
Spicy, floral rye notes with tropical white dog characteristics (mango, pineapple) that evolved in the barrel; markedly different from Bad Guy.
Palate
Buttery with rye muffin and dark rye notes; serial/cereal character; spice kick without tasting like traditional rye whiskey; slightly elevated in proof but drinks smoothly.
Finish
Clean and balanced, allowing the rye spice to linger.
Overall Score
4.4 / 5
A unique four-grain wheated rye that defies category conventions with tropical undertones and a buttery profile—limited release (roughly 1,000 bottles) that punches above its proof.
