Single Barrel Rye
Castle & Key
Nose
Baking spices rather than Frank's Red Hot heat, with tasting notes reminiscent of hot tamales candy.
Palate
Robust in flavor with baking spices, not spicy in the sense of hot sauce but rather complex and approachable for both rye enthusiasts and bourbon drinkers skeptical of rye.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A bridge rye that successfully appeals to both rye lovers and bourbon drinkers, featuring baking spice notes and complex flavors without aggressive heat.
