Rye
Hemingway
$80
95% rye, 5% malted barley (both components)
Nose
Gentle with prominent raisin notes from rum-seasoned Oloroso sherry cask finishing.
Palate
Rounded and smooth with raisin, nutty grape (cashew-like), buttery notes; sherry influence dominates while rye spice is tamed; not overly chocolate-forward.
Finish
Spice tingle on tongue with salivating qualities.
Overall Score
3.9 / 5
A thoughtfully finished rye that emphasizes sherry complexity over rye grain, reminiscent of barrel-finished bourbons, with meticulous bottling presentation.
