Leapers Fork Straight Rye Whiskey Old-Fashioned (with Eli Mason Old-Fashioned Cocktail Mixer)
NAS
Rye
Leapers Fork Distillery
Nose
No noticeable aroma when nosing the cocktail; the cold temperature and ice prevent typical nose evaluation in this mixed format.
Palate
Balanced sweetness and spice from the rye whiskey combined with the Eli Mason mixer; smooth and easy-drinking, with the rye contributing characteristic spice that complements the syrup's sweetness without becoming cloying.
Finish
Clean and crisp, with the ice gradually diluting the drink slightly to enhance drinkability in a warm steel house environment.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-executed old-fashioned cocktail that demonstrates the convenience and effectiveness of the Eli Mason mixer for consistent, quality results in a convenient ready-to-serve format.
