Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye – Distiller's Edition
92 proof NAS Rye Catoctin Creek 100% rye

Butterscotch, barrel oak with youthful oak notes, subtle fruity undertones, and anise/licorice character; a good but not exceptional nose with some woody characteristics.

Sweet opening with vanilla cream character, spice concentrated on the sides and back of tongue rather than mid-palate, oily buttery mouthfeel that dissipates quickly, chalky drying finish characteristic.

Medium finish with oak notes on the back palate, chalky and drying quality that outperforms the front palate.

Overall Score
3.6 / 5
A well-crafted, award-worthy rye with an unbalanced but enjoyable profile where the finish outperforms the nose, though 92 proof feels slightly low for the expression.
