Jay Mattingly 1845 "Fickle Mistress" Single Barrel Straight Rye (129 proof, 4 years)
129 proof 4 years Rye Bourbon 30 Spirits Georgetown, KY
Nose

Cocoa powder; rich and approachable despite high proof; minimal alcohol burn on the nose; syrupy quality.

Palate

Bold, thick, and syrupy; rich maple syrup mixed with Hershey's chocolate syrup and caramel; coffee-like depth; rich sweetness; minimal pepper despite proof; slightly warm on the back end.

Finish

Long and warming; deep chocolate and oak notes; rich and persistent.

Really good
An extraordinarily dark and rich four-year rye with bold syrupy character, luxurious chocolate and maple notes, and surprising approachability despite its formidable 129 proof.
