Blaum Bros. Distilling Company Straight Rye Whiskey
100 proof 4 years Rye Blaum Bros. Distilling Company Unknown, Unknown $50 92% rye, 5% smoked malt, 3% malted barley
Nose

Little bit of sweetness with charred oak and floral notes typical of rye. Subtle smokiness from the smoked barley. A hint of spice and fruit on the tail end. Floral notes reminiscent of wildflowers.

Palate

Definite smokiness on the palate, though subtle enough that those who dislike smoky malts won't be bothered. Creamy caramel coating the mouth. Well-rounded mid-palate with white pepper spice. Subtle anise notes. Raisin and cocoa flavors that develop as it sits. Kentucky hug that stays with you. Oak still present but well-integrated.

Finish

Warming Kentucky hug that lingers. Finishes cleanly with residual spice and oak.

Above average
A solid, well-crafted straight rye with subtle smoke integration and a pleasant warming hug that makes it ideal for sipping by a fire or pairing with hearty foods.
