Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Distiller's Edition (92 Proof)
92 proof NAS Rye Catoctin Creek Purcellville, VA 100% rye

Butterscotch, barrel oak, youthful oak notes, hint of fruity character, anise/licorice undertones.

Sweet and smooth across the palate; spice hits the sides and back of tongue rather than mid-palate; vanilla cream mouthfeel; oily, buttery texture that dissipates quickly; slight chalkiness on finish.

Medium finish with nice oak character on the back of the palate; dry, chalky quality; outperforms the front end.

Agreeable
A well-crafted, award-deserving rye with an unbalanced but enjoyable profile—pleasant to sip but not commanding enough to gift or serve as an introduction.
