Unknown 5 years Rye Castle & Key Frankfort, KY Unknown
Nose

Complex with baking spices; not hot or Frank's-sauce spicy but robust with cinnamon and nutmeg character.

Palate

Smooth delivery with baking spice forward, little sweetness at the front, all the way to the back with nice cinnamon spice and nutmeg.

Finish

Dries the palate as it goes back with lots of spice notes.

Above average
A bridge rye that appeals to both rye enthusiasts and bourbon drinkers, with robust baking spice character and approachable complexity.
