Archer Eland Cashmere Rye
126 proof approximately 7 years Rye Archer Eland / Middle West Spirits Columbus, OH $84.99 100% Ohio-grown rye (combination of rye and malted rye)
Nose

Fruitier profile than earlier pours; dried apricot and peach notes; lighter fruit character more akin to malt whiskey; minimal deep oak bite or leather.

Palate

Mixture of earthiness and fruitiness with pronounced rye bite; peach soda character; spicy mint and pepperiness; slightly disjointed between nose and palate but delicious.

Finish

Medium-length; spicy tingle on the tongue; flavor dissipates at medium length rather than lingering.

Satisfying
A distinctive Ohio rye where the fruit-forward character and mint-pepper notes create an unconventional profile, though the transition from nose to palate is less cohesive than other expressions.
